Washington Nationals finally snapped their skid with a 9-6 comeback win over the St.

Louis Cardinals in Game 1 Monday night.

That massive 6-8th inning flipped the script after trailing 4-3, marking their first home

victory this season.

Earlier, the Nats grabbed the quick 2-0 lead, but the cards chipped away with timely hits

and a homer to go up 6-3 heading into the bottom of the 8th.

Pitchers like Zach Latale held it down with 5 strong innings, 6 strikeouts, while Sinel

Perez locked the door in the 9th for the win.

James Woods stole the spotlight, shaking off his early season slump with 2 hits, including

a 409-foot bomb to center that tied it up.

He also flasked Leather with a 4th inning wall robbery to save the early lead, proving

he's turning heads on both sides of the ball.

Brady House followed Woods' homer with a 2-run shot for the lead.

Then CJ Abrams capped the rally with his 3rd homer of the year, putting 4, more cross.

That outburst pushed the Nats ahead 9-6 and never looked back.

Now sitting at 4-6, this win gives Washington real momentum heading into the series, especially

with Wood heating up at just the right time.
