Cardinals unleash 17-hit barrage in 9-6 win vs. Nationals to split doubleheader

ST. LOUIS — A few hours after they were held to six hits in an extra-inning loss, the Cardinals offense responded with a season-high 17 hits including a pair of doubles, a triple and a pair of home runs in a series-evening win against the Washington Nationals.

The Cardinals waited out a rain delay of one hour, five minutes and then blitzed the Nationals to earn a 9-6 win in front of an announced crowd of 41,900 in the second game of a doubleheader at Busch Stadium on Saturday night.

The win gave the Cardinals (39-53) a split of the doubleheader after they lost the completion of Friday night’s suspended game, 7-5 in 10 innings.
