Anthony Rendon draws a two-out walk but Juan Soto looks at strike three after a full count, the Nats may be trying to make Flaherty work extra early.No score after one full.
Marcell Ozuna wastes his own leadoff double when he gets hung up in a rundown by Strasburg who fakes throws then tags him. The Cardinals make Strasburg work a little more in the second but come away empty.No score, middle second.
97 mph fastball to Strasburg ready to sac bunt....I hold my breath, thinking of Trey Turner's injury missing 2 months because of SMASHED wrapped-around-the-bat fingers.
...but not at all complaining!
I didn't think you were, old buddy . . .
Trivia: Howie Kendrick now has five hits with men in scoring position this postseason. It's the most in Nats/Expos franchise history.
See? His change-up makes it's appearance for the 'out-pitch'! Six Ks....
The one thing I knew for damn sure going in was that Strasburg's changeup was going to get a very full night's work. And when it missed, it didn't miss the zone by much.
Hadn't realized that all seven (7) Ks have come on the off-speed pitch. Thought that was for the 2nd time thru the order, etc..
Intriguing tweet from the New York Times's baseball writer Tyler Kepner: Not to count out the Cardinals, but with the Nats up 6-0 in Game 3, this NLCS might not just be a sweep, but an *ultimate* sweep, where the losing team never even has a lead. The Cardinals are familiar with this; it happened to them in the 2004 World Series.
