In theory, the pregame scratch of Milwaukee Brewers rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski on Sunday should have offered the Washington Nationals an opportunity to stop their skid. Usually, a team cannot simply replace its ace — or one of its multiple aces — with a player from the minor leagues without a few road bumps along the way.

Brice Turang hit two two-run homers, and the Milwaukee Brewers completed their first season sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 14-3 victory.
