While each club collected only five hits, the Senators were able to score three runs in the first two innings and made them stand up for a 3-2 victory over the Brewers. Dave Nelson led off with a homer for the Nats and another run followed on two walks and a pair of infield outs. Another walk and singles by Nelson and Elliott Maddox produced what proved to be the deciding tally in the second inning. [The Sporting News]
