WASHINGTON (AP) — Erick Fedde threw his first career shutout, Willson Contreras drove in three runs and the St. Louis Cardinals routed the Washington Nationals 10-0 on Friday night for their sixth straight victory.

The Cardinals have surrendered only 13 runs in their last six games, recording back-to-back shutouts, and they moved above .500 for the first time since April 4. The winning streak is their longest since July 2023.
