Thomas Agesi smacked the go-ahead double in the 10th inning to spark the St. Louis

Cardinals to a 7-6 comeback win over the Washington Nationals last night.

With Mason win as the automatic runner, Sacchase's hit-to-center put St. Louis ahead, and Jordan

Weatherhole followed with another double to pad the lead.

The Cardinals exploded for five runs against Washington's shaky bullpen, which ranks 28th

in the majors with a 6.34 ERA.

Nathan Church crushed his first extra base hit of the season, a homer to tie things up

in the 8th, while Jordan Walker added a solo shot in the 7th to keep St. Louis close.

On the national side, James Wood kept rolling with a homer in his third straight game, his

first career streak like that, but it wasn't enough as.

Washington dropped six of their last seven.

Curtis Mead and CJ Abrams provided key hits earlier to build a lead, but the bullpen

couldn't hold it.

Pitching wise, George Soriano picked up the win with two scoreless innings, and Riley

O'Brien nailed down the save despite a wild pitch.

Starters Cade Cavali and Matthew Libertore both gave up four runs in about five innings

each.

Tomorrow's series finale pits right-hander Miles McCullis, facing his old cardinal squad

for the first time with an 0-2 record and A.

14.46 ERA against St. Louis Rookie, Michael McGreeby at 2.53.
