 With SRN Sports, I'm Jeremy House. Major League Baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals use pitching and power to defeat the Washington Nationals. Paul Goldschmidt and Alec Burleson each homered to back the pitching of Miles Michaelis, who pitched into the seventh inning and improved his record to 7-7 as the Cardinals shut out the Nationals 6-0 to take 3-4 in their series.
