The visiting Washington Nationals enjoyed a 3-2 win over baseball's defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals in their Major League Baseball playoff debut for a 1-0 lead in their National League Division Series.
Rookie Tyler Moore delivered a pinch-hit, two-run single in the eighth inning to turn a 2-1 deficit into the game-winning margin of victory for the Nationals.
The Cardinals, who beat the Atlanta Braves last week in a one-game wildcard showdown to advance to the division series, had a bases-loaded no-out opportunity in the bottom of the eighth inning but failed to score.
The best-of-five series resumes on Tuesday in St. Louis.
