Game blog: Gonzalez looking to erase last outing, get Nats going at home against Brewers
By Byron Kerr
The Nationals looking to erase the memory of a tough 3-7 road trip by getting something going at home.
The Nats begin a nine-game homestand tonight against the 52-70 Milwaukee Brewers, fresh off of taking a series from the 49-win Colorado Rockies.
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez faces Milwaukee right-hander Jimmy Nelson.
Gonzalez suffered his first loss since June 15 in his last start Saturday at San Francisco. But he is 2-0 with a 2.82 ERA in four career starts against Milwaukee.
Nelson took a 7-2 loss to the Nationals on June 13 at Miller Park. He allowed 10 hits over five innings, including seven earned runs, two walks, three strikeouts and two homers.
The Nationals are even 60-60 and must play well this weekend since the Mets are at Colorado for the weekend.
