Trout Helps St. Louis Cruise to 11-3 Win
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals by a score of 11-3. St. Louis right fielder Mike Trout deserved the lion's share of the credit. Trout went 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for the Cardinals. The winner was Andry Lara, who threw 97 pitches over 7.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits. St. Louis is off to a hot start at 15-5.

Paul Goldschmidt hit a 2-run double off Aaron Nola in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Cardinals in front, 5-3. In addition to the double, Goldschmidt had 2 singles, while going 3 for 5.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Trout.
