Washington at St. Louis 8:15 ET
Cardinals over Nationals- 'If I only had a brain'...Nationals manager Dusty Baker still doesn't has a clue on how to handle pitchers as the Nationals once again blew a ninth inning lead surrendering three runs to the Cubs in yesterday's 5-4 loss. Tonight Washington will start Tanner Roark (6-5, 5.15 ERA) who has a four-start winless streak coming off a loss to the Reds where he surrendered six runs and nine hits in six innings and has allowed 19 runs and 24 hits in his last 13.2 innings of 'work.' St. Louis will start Mike Leake (5-6, 3.12 ERA) who is among the league ERA leaders in winless in his last six starts. Leake has allowed just 87 hits in 98 innings while Roark has allowed 102 hits in 92.2 innings. The Nationals has struggled in St Louis where they have won just seven of their last 28 meetings. The difference between the two starters in dramatic and the Cardinals has a huge edge. Take ST. LOUIS!
