six hits while striking out three without a walk.
Washington rookie Mitchell Parker (5-5) completed seven innings
for the third time this season, allowing two runs (one earned)
on six hits. He walked one and struck out six.
Keibert Ruiz had two hits for the Nationals, who went 0-for-6
with runners in scoring position.
Nolan Gorman singled leading off the third for St. Louis and
Michael Siani reached on a bunt single. With one out, Burleson
grounded to third. Trey Lipscomb threw to second to get Siani,
but CJ Abrams' throw to first was wild and Gorman came around to
score the first run.
Goldschmidt homered on a 3-1 fastball leading off the fourth and
the Cardinals led 2-0.
The Nationals threatened in the fifth. Lipscomb and Jacob Young
hit consecutive one-out singles, but Abrams grounded into a
forceout and Mikolas retired Lane Thomas on a fly to right.
Burleson led off the eighth inning with a home run to right
center off Jacob Barnes. With one out, Goldschmidt reached on an
error by Abrams. Another out later, Brendan Donovan hit a
blooper to center. Young attempted a diving catch, but the ball
got past him and rolled to the wall for a double as Goldschmidt
scored to make it 4-0.
Gorman singled to start the ninth against Joan Adon and went to
third on Siani's single. Siani stole second and, after Masyn
Winn struck out, Burleson singled to right just beyond the reach
of a diving Luis Garcia Jr., scoring both runners to increase
the lead to 6-0.
