WASHINGTON (AP) — Dylan Carlson homered twice, Willson Contreras went 3-for-4 with two doubles to break out of a slump, and the St. Louis Cardinals won their fourth straight, 9-3 over the skidding Washington Nationals. Carlson’s first homer was a two-run shot that opened the scoring in the second inning and traveled 445 feet. It was Carlson’s third career multi-homer game and first of the season. Paul DeJong added a two-run shot in the ninth for St. Louis. Jordan Montgomery matched a season high by pitching seven innings, allowing one run on four hits with six strikeouts. MacKenzie Gore took the loss for the Nationals.
