WASHINGTON (AP) - Wes Obermueller took a perfect game into the seventh inning and limited Washington to two hits in eight innings, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-2 victory over the Nationals on Tuesday night.
Though not overpowering, Obermueller (1-0) retired the first 19 batters he faced before Jamey Carroll's one-out single in the bottom of the seventh. Obermueller struck out four and walked none in his first victory since last September.
Brady Clark homered on the first pitch of the game, and finished with 4-for-5 to help the Brewers end a three-game losing streak. Carlos Lee added a three-run shot in the second, chasing Nationals starter Claudio Vargas (0-1).
