The Nationals won six of their seven games between July 31 and August 8 -- since then, they have dropped four of six. With their two weekend losses to the Cubs, the Nats dropped to an even 30-30 on their travels in 2018.

The Cardinals have won five consecutive games, and have gone 9-2 in August. The Cards offense has gotten at least 10 hits seven times in August, most in MLB.

Ryan Zimmerman was hitting .184 at the end of April. Since then, Zimmerman has slashed .369/.447/.692, hitting safely in all but three games in which he had multiple at bats.

Jose Martinez has picked up a hit in eight of the Cardinals 11 August games -- the Cards have won all eight. In the weekend series against the Royals, Martinez went 6-for-12 at the dish, hitting one home run and knocking six runners home.

In two career starts against the Cardinals, Tommy Milone has pitched to a 3.46 ERA (5/13.0). His most recent game against the Redbirds came in 2015 as a member of the Twins -- Milone went seven full innings, allowing one earned run on five hits while striking out five and issuing zero free passes.

Miles Mikolas has turned in four consecutive starts of at least five innings while allowing no more than two runs in any of these outings. With one more such start, he will move into a tie for the third-longest active streak in MLB.

HP - Gibson, 1B - Reyburn, 2B - Johnson, 3B - Carlson

It was about as bad an encore as the Washington Nationals could have created.
Fresh off a brutal 4-3 loss Sunday night at the Chicago Cubs that saw closer Ryan Madson give up a two-out, two-strike pinch-hit grand slam to rookie David Bote in the bottom of the ninth, Washington concocted another gutpunch defeat Monday night.

Cardinals look to keep momentum against Nationals
