April 30, 2006: Cardinals 7 Nationals 6
Sunday, April 01, 2007
| The Nationals let a 5 run lead get away in this one and end up losing in embarassing fashion in the 9th. John Rodriguez led off the 9th for the Cards with a single off Gary Majewski. Majewski then committed not one but two wild pitches, which put Rodriguez on third. Albert Pujols grounds to shortstop, the Cards send the runner, and he is safe at home for the win. The blame does not solely fall on Majewski, since Jon Rauch and Mike Stanton combined to allow 3 runs in the 7th. Starter Zach Day allowed 3 runs through 6 but was in line for the win thanks to the 6 runs of offensive support. This was Day's return to the Nationals as he was signed off waivers from the Rockies, who the Nationals had traded him to at the deadline in '05 in a package for Preston Wilson, who left for free agency at the end of the season. |

In a dramatic ending at Busch Stadium the St. Louis Cardinals won in their
last at-bat beating the Washington Nationals by the count of 7 to 6.
The game was won by St. Louis with a run in the 9th inning. John Rodriguez
laced a base-knock. Gary Majewski then unleashed a wild pitch. Majewski
then had one get away for a wild pitch. Albert Pujols stepped in and he
would hit into a fielders choice making St. Louis the victor and beginning a
joyous home town celebration. St. Louis had 11 hits for the game and
Washington had 6.
The win went to Josh Hancock(1-1) who allowed no runs in 1 and 2/3 innings.
The loss was charged to Majewski(0-1) in relief. He was unable to retire a
batter giving up 1 hit and no walks.
