The Cardinals took advantage of key defensive errors committed by the Nationals on Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough in a 6-2 loss at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals knew going into this pivotal series that they would be facing the Nationals’ triple threat of Stephen Strasburg, Patrick Corbin and Max Scherzer. Yet after beating Strasburg on Monday, St. Louis swung hard against Corbin without many results on Tuesday. The Cards struck out 14 times and went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
