Max Scherzer pitched six innings and left with the score tied, but the Nationals lost, 5-3, to Milwaukee. (Stacy Revere/Getty Images)It wasn’t that the Washington Nationals lost, because they had been doing that most nights for the past three weeks. In the first inning, Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin plunked Yan Gomes, and the Nationals’ platoon catcher later left the game with a left forearm contusion. After Gomes left, the Nationals were left without their Nos. He singled in the first and scored on a Howie Kendrick home run that gave the Nationals a 2-0 lead.
