Nats Face Cardinals After Dodgers Blow

On April 6th, the nationals pitching took a beating from the Dodgers this weekend, dropping

five straight and falling to a three wins six losses.

Record after starting three in one.

Now they face the Cardinals, another rebuilding team that could be a solid test to see where

they stand.

James Woods stayed hot in the lead-off spot with the three run homer yesterday, and he's

back there today.

The offense has been steady, with Lewis Garcia Jr. and CJ Abrams shining in that series.

Dailin Lyles stayed quiet in cleanup, but Drew Millis and Jacob Young returned to the

lineup.

Fans saw the Dodgers games as a harsh wake-up call, especially with the staff getting

shelled at home.

The early promise faded fast, putting pressure on the pitchers to regroup against the

weaker foe.

Zach Letail takes the mound for Washington, coming off deep outings last year, while the

Cardinals counter with Andre Palante, St. Louis Lack stars like Wilson Contreras, Nolan

Aranado, and Brendan Donovan, but watch JJ Weatherhole leading off in Jordan Walker's

power early in the season.

Tonight's matchup in Nationals Park starts at 6.45pm Eastern on Nationals.tv or 106.7,

the fan.

So tune in as the Nets.

Chase that rebound win.
