The Washington Nationals strike first in Game 1 of the NLCS, as Yan Gomes roped an RBI-double to deep left center, scoring Howie Kendrick in the second.
Kendrick led off the second with a double to deep center of his own. Two batters later, Gomes delivered. The Nationals offense is making it routine scoring with two outs.
Getting contribution from the bottom of the order could be huge for the Nationals.
Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez has pitched through two perfect innings, to maintain the early 1-0 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals.
