Cardinals Outmuscle Washington, 11-8
The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Washington Nationals by a score of 11-8. Leading the way was left fielder Jordan Walker. Walker was 2-3 with a home run, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once for the Cardinals. The win went to Trevor Megill in relief. His record improves to 6-1. Jose Leclerc took the loss. St. Louis now has a record of 60-59 with the win.

The Nationals had been locked in a 8-8 tie with the Cardinals going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the two-time Gold Glove Award winner Dylan Carlson came to the plate. Carlson hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch fastball from Washington hurler Jose Leclerc. It was Carlson's 25th double of the year.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Walker. "It sure beats the alternative."
