Breaking News: Nationals look to stay hungry against cardinals.
The St. Louis Cardinals are riding a wave of momentum as they head to Washington to face the Nationals in a four-game series. After a successful road trip that saw them take two out of three games from the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cardinals are looking to keep their winning ways going against a Nationals team that is struggling to find consistency.
The Nationals, on the other hand, are coming off a series split with the visiting New York Mets, and are hoping to build some momentum of their own. However, they’ll have to do it against a Cardinals team that has been playing some of the best baseball in the league lately.
On the mound for the Nationals will be Patrick Corbin, who is still searching for his first win in his last nine starts. Despite his struggles, Corbin has shown flashes of brilliance, and the Nationals are hoping he can turn the corner against the Cardinals.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals will counter with veteran Sonny Gray, who has a 2-1 record with a 4.15 ERA in seven lifetime starts against the Nationals. Gray has been a steady presence in the Cardinals’ rotation all season, and is looking to build on his last outing, in which he pitched six strong innings against the Pirates.
The Cardinals’ offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, led by the red-hot Paul Goldschmidt, who has homered in three of his last four games. The Nationals, on the other hand, have been struggling to score runs, and will need to find a way to get their offense going if they want to keep up with the Cardinals.
Despite their struggles, the Nationals are still a dangerous team, and the Cardinals know they can’t take them lightly. “We know the Nationals are a talented team, and we’ll need to be at our best to come out on top,” said Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol. “We’re looking forward to the challenge.”
The series promises to be an exciting one, with two teams that are both fighting for position in their respective divisions. The Cardinals are looking to keep their momentum going, while the Nationals are hoping to turn their season around. One thing is for sure – it’s going to be a battle.
