Cardinals' Late Rally Beats Nats 7-6

On April 8th, the St. Louis Cardinals pulled off another thrilling comeback Tuesday night,

beating the Washington Nationals 7-6-10.

Innings.

They jumped out to a 2-0 lead early, but sloppy defense and shaky pitching led Washington

build a 5-2 advantage by the 6th.

Still, the cards refused to quit, now sitting at 6 wins and 5 losses through 2 weeks.

Jordan Walker sparked the rally with a solo homer in the 7th, cutting it to 5-3.

Then in the 8th, Nathan Church crushed a 2-run shot to tie things up at 5-0.

Reliever George Soriano locked down the gnats in the 8th and 9th, striking out 4 over 2 perfect frames to force extras.

Fans were on edge after the cards stranded runners multiple times, like in the 4th and 6 innings.

But guys like Thomas Agase stepped up big when accounted, shaking off earlier whiffs to deliver in the clutch.

That late-game magic has become the cardinal signature this season.

In the top of the 10th, Sargesi hustled for a double to score the go-ahead run,

and JJ Weatherhold added insurance with a 2-bagger for the 7-5 lead.

Riley O'Brien closed it out in a wild-bottom half, surviving a wild pitch that made it 7-6 before fanding the final batter.

Nolan Gorman's bare-hand flip to first seal the drama.

The cards keep rolling with this grit, facing Miles Michaelis and the gnats again,

Wednesday at 3.05pm Central Time.
