The opener of the Washington Nationals’ series at St. Louis will last two days.
The Nationals and the Cardinals had their Friday game suspended following a rain delay. The contest will be played on Saturday as part of a split doubleheader. The suspended game will begin at 1:15 p.m. CDT, and the originally scheduled Saturday game will start at 6:15 p.m. CDT.
The first game will restart with the Cardinals leading 1-0 in the bottom of the third inning, with a full-count on Paul Goldschmidt and a runner at first base.
The lone run came on a Lars Nootbaar homer off Nationals starter Trevor Williams with two outs in the first inning. It was Nootbaar’s sixth homer of the season.
Williams has allowed just that one hit and no walks while striking out five through 2 2/3 innings.
Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas has thrown three perfect innings, and he has fanned two.
