The Washington Nationals dropped a tough one to the St. Louis Cardinals, seven to six

and ten extra innings on Tuesday night, marking yet another.

Bullpen Meltdown.

Kate Cavali had a solid start, going four and two-thirds innings with three strikeouts,

one earned run, and four hits, but he couldn't snag the win, despite looking sharp early

on.

CJ Abrams kept his hot streak alive, going two for four in his third multi-hit game

this season, and he's now hit safely in eight straight games, tying the longest active

streak in Major League Baseball, reaching base in ten straight counting walks.

The Nats grab leaves with homeruns from James Wood and Curtis Mead's first as a national,

plus some timely hits from Dale and Lyle, but the Cardinals, clawed back with key homers

and doubles off the relievers to take control late.

All set at four and seven now, gearing up for the rubber match wins they have four or

five p.m., hoping the pen holds up to even the series.
