The Cardinals have won seven straight games against the Nationals. That ties their longest win streak in the history of this series (also September 26, 1969-April 15, 1970).

Although they have hit at least one home run in seven of their nine road games, the Cardinals are batting just .216 away from home so far in 2014. St. Louis had a .264 road batting average last season, which was fourth best in the majors.

Washington has a 2.33 (14/54.0) team ERA at home so far in 2014, which is tied for third lowest in the majors. The Nationals finished eighth in the league in home ERA last season (3.37).

Zach Walters has hit a home run in back-to-back games. The last rookie to hit a home run in three straight games for the Nationals/Expos was Brad Wilkerson, July 4-6, 2002.

Adam Wainwright is 2-2 with a 4.34 ERA (14 ER/29.0 IP) and .300 (36/120) opponent average in five career road starts against the Nationals. But in his last appearance at Nationals Park (April 23, 2013), Wainwright threw 8.1 innings of shutout ball, allowing just five hits while walking one and striking out nine.

The Nationals are 4-1 in Taylor Jordan's five career home starts, including having won the last three in a row. Jordan has shown good control in these five home starts, averaging just 1.5 walks per nine innings (5/30.2).
