Yan Gomes leads Washington Nationals to first World Series in franchise history

NLCS Game 4: Nationals 7, Cardinals 4

• Heading to the plate with a 3-0 lead already in the first inning, Yan Gomes got a pitch he liked and smoked it to left field, scoring 2 more runs. 5-0! It was then 7-0 before the first inning was over.

But in the 4th inning of the 4th game of the series, a Washington SP finally gave up an earned run.

Jose Martinez eventually shrunk the lead to 7-4, and that’s where the score stayed. Washington is headed to the first WS in their history.
