| The Nationals take over sole possession of first place in the NL East for the first time since May 22nd with a 6-3 win over the Cardinals and a Mets loss. The Nats fell all the way to 4th place in late June, but got hot in July and went from 4th place with a 7.5 game deficit on July 2nd to a tie for first on July 19th. The Nats and Mets have been tied on 3 other dates since then, but today they take the sole lead. As for the game, the Nats won thanks to 2 seperate 3 run innings. The offense was well spread, with 6 different men scoring each of the Nats' 6 runs. Matt Chico gets the win, his 8th, while Chad Cordero gets his 20th save. Cordero was an adventure as always, loading the bases with a single, HBP, and walk before getting the 3rd out. |
