Second inning (in advancement — Brewers 3, Nationals 0):

First inning (Brewers 2, Nationals 0):
In his last playoff start, Game 1 of the 2017 NLDS, Max Scherzer was immaculate through three innings with four strikeouts. Scherzer began Tuesday's down with a leadoff stroll to right defender Trent Grisham. Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal tore Scherzer's next pitch into the Nationals warm up area to give Milwaukee a 2-0 lead and stagger the Nationals Park swarm.
Scherzer settled down fairly after Grandal's grand slam and a line out to left field by Mike Moustakas.

Pregame:
— 7:59 p.m.: Nationals reliever Aaron Barrett, who went through two years out of baseball and two years in the small time after grisly elbow damage undermined his profession, made an enthusiastic come back to the major associations in September. "The Bear" didn't make Washington's trump card game list, however in the primary really cool snapshot of these playoffs, he tossed the stately first pitch. Apparently, he didn't need to rehearse. Barrett waved his arms noticeable all around to siphon up the group before stepping on the hill, coming set and tossing a strike (the apparition umpire had a liberal zone) to Harrisburg Congresspersons Administrator Matt Lecroy.
Previous Nats fan most loved Michael Morse tossed the stately first pitch before the group's last home playoff game in 2017. In contrast to Morse, don't expect Barrett to lead the group in a seventh-inning interpretation of A-ha's "Take On Me."
— 7:44 p.m.: Nationals starter Max Scherzer got an overwhelming applause as he strolled to the warm up area to start his warm-up at 7:30. Scherzer, who will make his fourth profession postseason start with Washington, has commanded a few of the enormous hitters in Brewers Administrator Craig Counsell's lineup in his vocation. Ryan Braun, Lorezno Cain and Yasmani Grandal are a joined 1 for 42 with 19 strikeouts against Scherzer. New kid on the block second baseman Keston Hiura, the Brewers' cleanup hitter today, has never confronted the Nats' expert.
With thirty minutes to go before first pitch, a season feature video is playing on the inside field scoreboard. "Child Shark" was included, quickly. Might we hear it again at some point this evening?
— 7:11 p.m.: Welcome from continuously filling Nationals Park, where the Brewers are simply completing the process of batting practice and there's a constant flow of red strolling through the inside field entryways. In the event that the structure weight of a champ take-all game doesn't make those in participation sweat, the unseasonably moist climate may. One individual who isn't pushed? Nationals left defender Juan Soto.
"I feel astonishing," the 20-year-old said Tuesday evening, a couple of hours before his playoff debut. "I feel extremely upbeat, first time being here. I can hardly wait to see the group, how it will be today, and they will cheer and so much stuff. I will be truly energized. … It will be enjoyable."
