Every game is consequential for the first-place Brewers, who begin a three-game series with the Nationals on "Friday Night Baseball."
Milwaukee just won a seismic series against the Cubs, taking two out of three to seize control of the NL Central. But that division race seems poised to go down to the wire.
Resurgent pitching has fueled the Brewers over the last two months, and left-hander Jose Quintana has played a big part. The veteran has pitched to a 3.50 ERA in his age-36 season, and he gets the ball on Friday night.
Christian Yelich — fresh off reaching the 20-homer plateau — leads an unheralded offense that has been remarkably productive.
