The Washington Nationals have quickly gotten back on track after a disappointing performance earlier this week and have a chance to register their first three-game road sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in 30 years.
The Nationals will look to pull off that feat Sunday while trying to thwart Carlos Martinez's attempt to win his first five starts.

Nationals-Cardinals Preview

ST. LOUIS (AP)  Max Scherzer always makes sure to eat some toasted ravioli when he comes back to Missouri.
After he pitched seven strong innings Sunday to beat his hometown team for the first time, maybe Scherzer should have the St. Louis specialty more often.
