WASHINGTON • It took an unerring bunt strolling down the third-base line for the Cardinals to unlock their offense and a rigid show from the bullpen to secure a second comeback victory in as many nights against Washington.
Kolten Wong dropped a bases-loaded, two-out bunt in the fourth inning to conjure the Cardinals' first run of the game and setup Harrison Bader for the decisive hit of the evening. Bader's two-run, two-out single sent the Cardinals to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night at Nationals Park.
It was the second time in two days the Nats botched an early lead of at least two runs.
