If you read the headline, you know the outcome. I’m not prescient, so I didn’t know that when I began typing up this recap in real time....
Cardinals enter the night having won eight games in a row, including the first three of this four-game series against the Nationals. If the Cards win tonight, it will be the first four-game sweep of the Nationals since 1983—when they were still the Expos!
Roark comes in having won his last 4 starts. Weaver has had a few extra days of rest after cutting his finger earlier in the week.
