Trevor Williams and Miles Mikolas both tossed four scoreless innings in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday afternoon, as the Nationals tried to avoid a sixth consecutive loss and a second straight series sweep, in the finale of their three-game set with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Williams was able to get through the fifth as well, then Mikolas cracked first, giving up a two-out, opposite field homer on a 1-0 fastball, up high and outside which CJ Abrams powered out to left field for a 382-foot solo shot which put the home team up 1-0 in the nation’s capital.
