Cardinals 16, Nationals 8 Box »

• Nathan Karns (WAS No. 6): The Nationals righty had a bizarre stat line, allowing seven runs but just one earned while recording only two outs. An Anthony Rendon error started the inning, but Karns didn't help himself with a pair of walks and a grand slam served up to the Cards' Shane Robinson.
