 The Cardinals won three of four between these teams from April 29-May 2, with their pitching staff posting a 1.80 ERA and .192 opponent batting average. Nationals hitters had three extra-base hits in the series, their fewest in any series this season.

 St. Louis dropped two of three to Milwaukee over the weekend, including a 7-6 loss on Sunday, their fourth straight loss in one-run games. Immediately before this streak the Cardinals had won five straight one-run games from Aug. 16-Sept. 3.

 The Nationals lost two of three against the Braves and are 4-7 since Sept. 4. Over that span, Washington's bullpen has allowed an MLB-high 7.52 ERA and .331 opponent batting average.

 Harrison Bader hit .357 (5-for-14) in the Cardinals' previous series against the Nationals. In his career, he has a 1.026 OPS against Washington, his highest against any NL opponent. Bader is slashing .351/.432/.595 against the Nationals and .235/.320/.389 versus all other opponents over his career.

 Juan Soto went eight straight games in July without an extra-base hit, tied for the longest streak of his career. Since July 25, Soto has 32 extra-base hits, the most in the National League over that span, and his 17 home runs are third in the NL over that time (Eugenio Suarez, 20; Nolan Arenado, 18).

 Anthony Rendon has never homered at Busch Stadium. His 18 games played there are his most at any ballpark without hitting a home run. In his career, Rendon is slashing .279/.355/.368 at Busch Stadium.

HP - Wolf, 1B - Tumpane, 2B - Gonzalez, 3B - Holbrook

The first-place St. Louis Cardinals are trying to hold off the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central. The Washington Nationals are trying to fend off those same teams in the tightening wild-card race.
So the stakes will remain high when the Cardinals (84-66) host the Nationals (82-67) in the second game of their three-game series at Busch Stadium on Tuesday.

Cards, Nats meet again in game plenty of teams watching

ST. LOUIS (AP)  Howie Kendrick just missed the cycle but he will take the win instead for the Washington Nationals.
Kendrick finished a double shy of hitting for a cycle, Patrick Corbin pitched six strong innings, and the Nationals beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 Tuesday night.
