Werth's bat, Ross' arm lead Nationals past Cardinals 6-1 (Yahoo Sports)

Jayson Werth's three-run home run capped a four-run first inning and Joe Ross had another stingy outing for the Washington Nationals in a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Washington goes for a sweep Sunday after raising its record to 8-24 at 11-year-old Busch Stadium. Opponents had been 2 for 13 with no runs in the first against Jaime Garcia (1-2) before the Nationals jumped on the lefty for four runs on three hits.
