(originally written October 2019)

From 10 teams to eight and now, the final four of the MLB Postseason. Here, we dive into the NLCS between the hard-charging Washington Nationals and the storied St. Louis Cardinals.

Nats SP Anibal Sanchez, with a little help from 1B Ryan Zimmerman's diving catch, carried a no-hitter through 7.2 IP in beating the Cardinals 2-0 in Game 1.

Any hopes of a St. Louis series comeback were quickly squashed in Game 4 when the Nationals registered a seven-run 1st, quickly knocking out SP Dakota Hudson. Two defensive gaffes prolonged the rally, including a drop by St. Louis 2B Kolten Wong (pictured).
