 On the field, the Nats fall to St. Louis 8-3. They'll battle the Cardinals one more time this afternoon. 4-0-5 first pitch on 1500 AM. Check out the new Nationals notebook on the sports page at WTOP.com where we reveal our Diamonds Direct Diamond King. You know, Jesse Winker hit .421 last week, scoring eight runs, driving in four. He also hit a solo homer to provide the difference in a series split salvaging win over the Mets on Independence Day. But then, he proudly wore the Uncle Sam hat for quite some time after rounding the bases. He even did the post-game interview.
