Rookies deliver for Nats against Cardinals
ST. LOUIS – Rookies in the postseason, the Washington Nationals played like poised veterans.
The Nationals escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning Sunday, Tyler Moore blooped a two-out, two-run single in the eighth and Washington beat the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, in an NL playoff opener.
They have only four players with postseason experience on the roster. But they have the lead.
