Blake Perkins hit his first two home runs of the season and drove in three runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 16-9.

A CJ Abrams leadoff double and two-out Luis Garcia Jr. two-strike RBI single produced the first run of the game in the bottom of the first, but Blake Perkins promptly got it back. The Brewers center fielder got a 1-2 mistake from Parker and sent it out to the first row of the left-field seats for his first home run of the season.

William Contreras had five hits including his third homer in two games, Blake Perkins homered twice and the visiting Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 16-9 on Friday.
