The Nationals swept the Cardinals to reach the World Series for the first time in franchise history. The play the winner of the Yankees-Astros.
Published 1:35 AM EDT Oct 16, 2019The Washington Nationals completed a dominating sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with a 7-4 victory that wrapped up the National League Championship Series – and set the stage for the first World Series in Washington, D.C., since the original Senators lost to the New York Giants 86 years ago.
"They beat us, clearly," said Cardinals manager Mike Shildt."They pitched very, very well ... we tip our hat to them and wish them nothing but the best." The Nats made an immediate statement in Game 4, blasting rookie right-hander Dakota Hudson for seven runs on six hits in the bottom of the first inning.
That one inning typified the Nationals’ complete dominance in the series … and also the Cardinals’ relative ineptitude. Even thought St. Louis did cut the lead to three, their anemic offense never gave any indication they could fully recover from such a huge early deficit.
"Patrick got out of some jams, and then our bullpen." Nationals manager Dave Martinez said."I can't say enough about Rainey, Doo, Huddy, what they did today ... but they've done that through the whole playoffs."The Cardinals’ No. 3 and 4 hitters, Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna, both hit .412 with an OPS over 1.300 in the division series. However, it was a completely different story against the Nationals in the NLCS.
