The Washington Nationals are World Series bound after sweeping away St. Louis in 4 straight games in the N.L.C.S. The Nationals capped the rout with a 7-4 wion over the Cardinals last night.

The Nationals now await the winner of the A.L.C.S. Houston moved up two games to one on the Yankees with a 4-1 win in New York last night. Game four tonight, weather permitting.
