A buyer meets a seller when the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Washington Nationals to begin a three-game series on Monday, one day before the trade deadline.
The Nationals, who may be on the verge of moving infielder Jeimer Candelario and possibly outfielder Lane Thomas, return home after dropping three of four to the New York Mets.
On Sunday, Christian Yelich hit his 16th homer of the season and Carlos Santana hit a solo homer in his second game with Milwaukee, but the Brewers still lost 8-6.Milwaukee ace Corbin Burnes will take the mound in the series opener. Over his last five starts, the right-hander is 4-1 with a 1.64 ERA. He has struck out 42 batters and walked 10 in 33 innings during that span.
Burnes has never made a start against the Nationals. In three relief appearances covering three innings in 2018-19, he gave up no runs on two hits with no walks and three strikeouts.
