The Washington Nationals defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 8-5 in 11 innings on Saturday night, overcoming four errors committed during the game. The Nationals committed the miscues but still managed to win, continuing a pattern from Friday's matchup in which Washington also jumped out to an early lead against Cardinals pitcher Michael McGreevy.
The decisive moment came in the 11th inning, when the Nationals scored four runs to seal the victory. According to ESPN, Washington successfully challenged for catcher's interference with the bases loaded during that four-run frame. Per Sportsnet, Daylen Lile hit a two-run shot in the 11th, while Jose Tena contributed a two-run double in the same inning to lead the Nationals past St. Louis.
