Esteban Loaiza earned his fourth straight win for the Nationals on Saturday by going six innings and giving up three runs in a 5-3 win over the Brewers. Gary Majewski, Mike Stanton and Chad Cordero each pitched an inning of scoreless relief to hold the lead.
Just a day after balking in the winning run in the 10th inning on a questionable call, Stanton pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning for the Nationals.
Vinny Castilla went 2-3 for the Nats, hitting a pair of doubles that both scored Preston Wilson. Jose Vidro homered, and Jose Guillen had the game-winning RBIs on a deep single that scored Carlos Baerga and Ryan Church to break a 3-3 tie in the seventh inning.
The Nats looked for a split in the four game series on Sunday, sending Ryan Drese to face former National Tomo Ohka.
