West Palm Beach, Fla. — Washington Nationals fans have reasons to doubt 2022 will be their year. They got 29 more of them Wednesday.
Former Tigers pitcher Anibal Sanchez and teammate Cade Cavalli allowed 10 runs each while the Nationals were shellacked 29-8 by the St. Louis Cardinals in a spring training game — a laugher even by exhibition standards.
“Things just got a little bit out of hand,” Washington manager Dave Martinez said. “They had some hits where they had the magic wand today.”
The Cardinals scored 15 times in the eighth inning, a barrage that began against Cavalli.
