It was an exciting series for the Washington Nationals, but unfortunately it resulted in losing two out of three to the St Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals jumper out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a three run home run by former National Matt Adams. St Louis would go on to double this lead at 6-0 before the Nationals finally got on the board with a double by Adam Eaton. The Cardinals responded with a home run by Yairo Munoz to increase the Nationals deficit to 7-1. Washington then stormed back to score the next five runs before being held scoreless for the final two innings in a 7-6 loss to the Cardinals in the rubber game of the series.
Nationals will conclude the homestand with a four game series against the Chicago Cubs this weekend.
