Nationals swept the Brewers 8-6 to complete their first series sweep in Milwaukee since 2006, with Keibert Ruiz driving in the go-ahead runs in the eighth inning [source: CBS Sports/AP report on the 2026-04-11 result]. That sweep snapped a long Brewers skid in this matchup and fed into Milwaukee’s early-season struggles in that series, especially on the mound.[1]

This context helps explain the shift in momentum as the Nationals captured the finale to seal the sweep.[2]
