WASHINGTON — — By his own admission, Jack Flaherty has failed to control his frustration when he’s struggled early in games. But the Cardinals’ right-hander found a way to produce an outing Monday that was better than the numbers indicated. Flaherty gave up five runs on eight hits before getting even five outs against the Nationals. To his surprise, he was still on the mound in the seventh inning with the lead. Brendan Donovan and Paul Goldschmidt hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, and St. Louis rallied from that early 5-0 deficit to beat Washington 8-6 in a Juneteenth matinee.
The series continues Tuesday night with Cardinals LHP Jordan Montgomery (3-7, 3.91 ERA) opposing LHP MacKenzie Gore (3-5, 3.74).
