WASHINGTON -- Kyle Lohse tossed eight sharp innings on short rest and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 on Wednesday, shutting down Bryce Harper and Co. for the second night in a row. Lohse (4-6) allowed one run and four hits, and had a season-high seven strikeouts against the eager-swinging Nationals, who barely avoided back-to-back shutouts and fell back to .500. Harper, in his third game back from a knee injury, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and dropped a ball in left field for the second consecutive game. Lohse pitched on two days rest after his last start, Sunday at Pittsburgh, was cut short at 1 2-3 innings because of a 2-hour, 20-minute rain delay. Nevertheless, his impressive June (2-0, 2.34 ERA) carried into July. Ross Detwiler (2-7), yet another Nationals pitcher longing for run support, was charged with four runs and eight hits in six innings, although two runs were unearned because of Harpers error leading off the sixth. In Detwilers seven losses, the Nationals have scored a combined three runs while hes been in the game. The Brewers scored a pair in the fifth after a double by Sean Halton and a clinical bunt single by Logan Schafer. After a sacrifice bunt, both were singled home by Norichika Aoki with the infield in. In the sixth, Harper dropped a line drive off the bat of Aramis Ramirez. The error proved costly when Schafer drove a two-run triple into right-centre with two out. Harper, converted from catcher after the Nationals drafted him No. 1 overall in 2010, also misplayed a fly ball on the warning track in Milwaukees four-run eighth inning in Tuesdays 4-0 win. That play was ruled a hit, although Harper said he simply dropped the ball. At the plate, Harper made solid contact twice, but centre fielder Carlos Gomez chased the first one down on the warning track and had to sprint and stretch to snag the second one in left-centre. Harper is 1 for 12 since his return from the disabled list, and the one hit was an electrifying first-inning homer in the first game that helped spur a 10-5 win. The Nationals have since reverted to their collective season-long slump at the plate, although many of their outs Wednesday were hard-hit line drives that went straight to fielders. They averted the shutout when Anthony Rendon homered in the seventh. Rendon also came up to the plate as the potential tying run with two out and two on in the ninth, but he flew out to deep centre field against Francisco Rodriguez, who picked up his seventh save. The Brewers have won two straight after losing six in a row. They welcomed shortstop Jean Segura and Gomez back to the lineup after both sat out Tuesdays game with nagging injuries. Gomez had plenty of work, making eight putouts in centre field. NOTES: The games most embarrassing gaffe was committed by Brewers 2B Rickie Weeks, who ran almost all the way from first to third on a flyout to deep centre with one out. Weeks was easily doubled off base, negating a run that would have scored from third on a sacrifice fly. It would have been Haltons first major league RBI. ... Detwiler made the start despite feeling stiffness in his lower back after his previous outing. He is 0-3 since returning from the disabled list following a back strain last month. ...

RENO, Nev. -- Greg Chalmers won the Barracuda Championship on Sunday at Montreux for his first PGA Tour title by eagling the final hole for a six-point victory in the modified Stableford scoring event.The 42-year-old Australian won in his 386th start after entering the week as the active player with the most events without a victory.Its hard to win, and Im very thrilled and very pleased to get it done, Chalmers said. It was a tough. I knew today would be difficult. And we had difficult conditions. I was blessed, I think, that guys found it tough just the same as I found it tough.A point ahead of Gary Woodland and needing at least a par on the par-5 18th to wrap up the victory, Chalmers made an 8-foot eagle putt after hitting a 320-yard drive and 230-yard, 7-iron approach. A few minutes earlier, Woodland hit an 8-iron into the right bunker and three-putted for bogey.Quite fortunate that Gary didnt birdie the last, Chalmers said. That would have put a lot of pressure on me.Chalmers had a four-point round to finish with 43 in the system that awards eight points for double-eagle, five for eagle and two for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three for double-bogey or worse. He had two birdies and five bogeys, the last two on Nos. 15 and 17.The left-hander earned a two-year tour exemption, a spot in the British Open at Royal Troon and other perks. With only conditional status, he had split time between the PGA tour and the Web.com Tour this year. The two-time Australian Open champion missed the cuts in his previous five starts on the big tour.Just to get back on the PGA Tour, I cant tell you how exciting that is, Chalmers said. Forty-two years of age, I turn 43 in October. This is a real fork in the road for my career, and its in the right direction.Because of the West Virginia floods that led to The Greenbrier Classic being canceled, a British Open spot was transferred to the leading player not already eligible at Montreux.Cant wait, Chalmers said. Its such a great thing that the R&A and Barracuda here have done for us, even though the circumstances that came about werent the greatest.Woodland, the 2013 winner, also had a four-point round to finish second.Its frustrating, Woodland said. I didnt make any putts coming down the stretch.In standard scoring, Chalmers finished a stroke ahead of Woodland and third-place finisherr Colt Knost.ddddddddddddHe closed?with a 1-over 73 for a 15-under total.Knost had a 10-point round to reach 35. He has three top-four finishes in his past five events.I stole some today, but I threw a lot away, Knost said. Honestly, all week, I just didnt strike it very well. My short game saved me.Tim Herron was another point back after a 13-point round. He was pulling for Chalmers to win.That would be great. That would be awesome, the 46-year-old Herron said while Chalmers was in the middle of the back nine. Hes grinding his butt off. Were kind of in that stage of our career. Should we hang with the family, or should we keep going?Brendan Steele and Steve Wheatcroft tied for fifth with 32 points.Not the Sunday I wanted, Wheatcroft said. They definitely changed the golf course up on us. Took us four or five holes to figure that out. Cant imagine too much water went on the greens last night. They were rock hard.Rhein Gibson had the shot of the week. He holed out from 175 yards for double-eagle on the par-5 18th. He set up the albatross with a 370-yard drive.I hadnt had a birdie all day and just leaking oil, hitting good shots, not doing anything, Gibson said. I hit an unbelievable tee shot there and had a wedge in ... saw it go in. The crowd went pretty bonkers.Barracuda will donate $100,000 to a charity in Gibsons name. The only other albatross in tournament history was by Shiv Kapur in 2010, when the hole played as No. 9.Gibson tied for 25th with 24 points. He and other Australian players showered Chalmers with champagne.I didnt expect that, Chalmers said. And kind of unique because normally a lot of guys will just leave town. So for them to stay and do that was kind of special.Chalmers father, John, was also there to celebrate.My father just comes out to travel with me when my mom and my kids and my family are staying back in Dallas, Chalmers said. He just likes to come out and watch golf. He plays. Its good for us as father and son -- hes 72 now -- for us just to bond and chat and solve the worlds problems every night.Chalmers got the last laugh on a Twitter troll too.Unfortunately, someone on Twitter said, That guy cant close out. ... Ill be tweeting him back later, dont worry about that. ' ' '
