 So it looked like the Nationals were maybe going to win this one in a bit of a laugher. They had the big lead against the Cardinals, but the offense would be shut down from there, and the Cardinals would begin to chip away, and the Nationals are trying to play bend but don't break. In the top of the fourth inning, Paul Goldschmidt legged out an infield hit. C.J. Abrams' throw to first was high, so a chance to get it out, not delivered.
