 It is his eighth home run of the year and 16th run batted in. It's the Cardinals 5 and the Nationals 5. So Contreras, who had a huge series in this ballpark last year, hit a big game-tying home run. He would even do damage later on a strikeout of all things. Bottom of the ninth inning, Lane Thomas with two outs doubled off the glove of the third baseman, Nolan Arenado, so the Nats had a chance to win it. James Wood gave a decent at bat against the tough lefty, JoJo Romero, but his fly ball to left field was caught.
