 Nats take a 13-6 lead in the top of the eighth inning. The Cardinals will have Burleson, Contreras, and Goldschmidt against Jordan Weems. So far, the pitching for the Nationals, they've used three pitchers. Mackenzie Gore, the starter, was only able to go three and a third innings. Jacob Barnes went two scoreless innings. Weems, so far, inning and two thirds. One run on two hits. The good news, he's only thrown 17 pitches. He'll work the eighth inning. So will Charlie Slows from the Nissan Broadcast booth.
