In the first home NLCS game in Nationals history, Strasburg (1-0) struck out 12 while giving up an unearned run over seven innings of Game 3. The Cardinals have scored just two runs in the series, which would end Tuesday if Washington can win at home again. His homer was the only Washington run that did not come with two outs. The Nationals will send left-hander Patrick Corbin to the mound in Game 4 on Tuesday as they look for the NLCS sweep. There was just one NLCS sweep over the previous 11 seasons: the New York Mets over the Chicago Cubs in 2015.
