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].

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