ST. LOUIS (AP) — The game between the Washington Nationals and St. Louis Cardinals was suspended in the third inning Friday night due to rain. The series opener will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday. The Cardinals jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Lars Nootbaar homered in the first inning off Trevor Williams. St. Louis starter Miles Mikolas had retired all nine Nationals batters he faced before the game was halted.
