Andrew Stevenson led off with a walk against
Giovanny Gallegos (2-1) who then hit Josh Harrison with a pitch.
Trea Turner singled to right on an 0-2 pitch, scoring Stevenson
to tie it and sending Harrison to third.
After Turner stole second, Josh Bell grounded out and Kyle
Schwarber was intentionally walked. Gallegos then struck out
Starlin Castro ... but walked Gomes on four pitches, forcing in
the go-ahead run.
Nationals reliever Daniel Hudson (2-0) had pitched a scoreless
eighth inning and got the win, and Brad Hand worked the ninth
for his second save.
Bell homered for the Nationals.
Washington starter Patrick Corbin who entered the game 0-2 with
a 21.32 earned run average, pitched six shutout innings,
allowing four hits and no walks while striking out five. He
retired 13 of the last 14 hitters he faced and was lifted after
76 pitches.
Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright gave up a run on five hits. He
struck out ten and walked one while throwing 100 pitches.
Before the game, Washington placed outfielder Juan Soto on the
10-day Injured List with a strained left shoulder and recalled
Yadiel Hernandez from the team's alternate training site. Soto
was hitting .300 with two homers, eight RBIs and 11 runs scored,
but was 1-for-18 over his past four games.
With one out in the sixth, Bell gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead
when hit a first-pitch curveball just over the wall in right for
his first homer as a National.
The Cardinals took the lead in the seventh. Yadier Molina led
off with a walk against Tanner Rainey, and Dylan Carlson tripled
off the center-field fence. Carlson scored on a fly to left by
Austin Dean for the 2-1 St. Louis lead.
