then why not put him in for the 7th?

The Cardinals just won. They beat Kershaw and the Dodgers. And you can't really fault Mattingly for sticking with Kershaw in the 7th, given how well he was pitching. The Cards just went out and beat him. Twice.

But the Nationals beat themselves, at least in part. The Giants are a good team but the Nationals could have won this thing with a couple of common sense decisions.

So I hear Ron Gardenhire is available?
