The St. Louis Cardinals moved to within one game of the League Championship Series today, downing the Washington Nationals on the road at Nationals Park by a score of 6-5. Cardinals right-hander Tony Gonsolin had a strong outing. He threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball. The win gives the Cardinals a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

David Fletcher, who finished 2nd in the NL in hits with 198 in 2021, aided the St. Louis cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth. For the game, the second baseman was 1-3.

"We had a good game plan," Gonsolin said, "and we were able to execute it."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Nationals Park in Washington.
