Nationals 8, Brewers 4
game 1
WASHINGTON — Jason Marquis kept cool in a bases-loaded jam in the fourth and got rewarded. Danny Espinosa and Ivan Rodriguez hit three-run homers for the Nationals, who had season bests in runs and hits (11). "I was just trying to keep the team in the game as best as possible, and the offense exploded there in the middle innings," Marquis said.
