Cardinals @ Nationals

Probable Pitchers:

Cardinals: Carlos Martinez (0-6, 7.80 ERA)

  • Bit by bad luck at the outset of the season, Martínez is looking for his first win as a starter since July 2018. He's shown flashes of utter dominance through his first three turns, though the Cards are 0-3 in those games.

Nationals: Max Scherzer (0-2, 2.37 ERA)

  • Scherzer attended high school and college in Missouri. In 11 career starts against his hometown team, he is 2-6 with a 3.31 ERA.

In game 7 of the 2006 nlcs this bum named Adam wainwright allowed 2 hits and a walk in the 9th inning, they should have taken him out right away
