Nationals go to 9-13, 6.5 GB
Lose to the Cardinals 9-3
Duncan hit a grand slam to put the nail in the coffin for us, and we had again, no pitching, and not enough hitting.
As the month of April comes to a close:
Nationals add Corey Hamman a lefty reliever to a minor league contract, he could get invited up to Washington this year.
RF Jorge Padilla is sent down to Triple A Syracuse and Hamman is called up.
