 The Cardinals went 5-2 against the Nationals in the regular season, holding Washington to three or fewer runs in six of the seven games (2.43 runs per game). St. Louis won the only previous postseason series between the clubs, taking the 2012 LDS in five games after a six-run comeback in Game 5 (9-7 win).

 St. Louis exploded for 10 runs in the first inning of Game 5 on Wednesday in Atlanta, going on to a 13-1 win. The 12-run margin was the second largest all-time in a "winner-take-all" postseason game, behind one involving the same two teams: Atlanta defeated the Cardinals 15-0 in Game 7 of the 1996 NLCS.

 Washington overcame an early 3-0 deficit to win Game 5 of the Division Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday, 7-3 in 10 innings. It is the franchise's second all-time LCS appearance, and first since moving to Washington in 2005; the 1981 Expos advanced to the NLCS, falling to the Dodgers in five games (3-2).

 Former Dodger Howie Kendrick landed the big blow for Washington in Game 5, a grand slam in the top of the 10th inning. It was the second extra-inning grand slam in postseason history, along with one by Nelson Cruz of Texas in Game 2 of the 2011 ALCS against Detroit (11th inning walk-off).

 Anibal Sanchez is one of four active pitchers with at least eight postseason starts and a postseason ERA under 3.00 (2.98), along with Madison Bumgarner (2.11), Jon Lester (2.51) and Adam Wainwright (2.79).

 Anthony Rendon (64) and Paul Goldschmidt (60) ranked 1-2 in the NL in RBI after the All-Star break. Goldschmidt went 9-for-21 (.429) in the Division Series, and for his career in the postseason is batting .358 with a 1.197 OPS and six home runs in 53 at-bats.

HP - Muchlinski, 1B - Conroy, 2B - Miller, 3B - Cuzzi, LF - Fairchild, RF - Culbreth

With the top teams out of the mix, it's on to a most unlikely matchup in the NL Championship Series.
The St. Louis Cardinals are back in the NLCS for the first time since 2014 after a stunner of an inning in Atlanta.
