On Sunday, the Milwaukee Brewers played the Washington Nationals for the final game of their series in Washington, D.C.
The Brewers lost by a score of 8-6 (and got swept).
However, the more significant concern was that Christian Yelich left the game with an injury.
He finished the day with no hits in two at-bats.
