National League
Washington Nationals 8 St. Louis Cardinals 1
Washington will be looking for the series sweep when they play game four of the NL Championship Series on Tuesday after blowing out the Cardinals in game three. While Stephen Strasburg was scattering seven hits over seven innings, Howie Kendrick led the Nationals' offense with three doubles, two runs and three RBI.
Kendrick's first two-bagger came in the third, after Washington had already scored a pair of runs. His opposite field gash went to the wall in right-center field driving in two more runs for a 4-0 lead.
In the fifth, Kendrick doubled again, driving in Anthony Rendon. He later scored on Ryan Zimmerman's double. Kendrick doubled again in the seventh, coming home on a single by Zimmerman.
Kendrick is batting .417 over the three games of the series. In nine post-season games, the 36-year-old veteran has 11 hits in 35 at-bats (.314) with one home run and nine RBI.
The Cardinals managed only to score an unearned run in their half of the seventh inning. Over the first three games of the series, the Cardinals have scored a mere two runs.
Washington's pitching has been nothing short of sensational, holding the Cardinals to a combined batting average of .121 (11 for 91). Through three games, the Nationals' ERA is 0.67.
Game four is at Nationals Park in Washington, DC, Tuesday, 8:05 pm ET. Washington leads, three games to none.
