Jayson Werth sent the nation's capital into a frenzy with his walk off home run in game 4 of the NLDS.  Werth's Washington Nationals tied the series at 2-2 with their exhilarating 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, setting up a deciding game 5 tomorrow night.  After being shut out in game 3 of the series, the Nationals were finally able to put a couple of runs on the board off the bats of Werth and Adam Laroche who hit a home run in the 2nd inning.  Werth's towering solo homer came off a fastball from converted reliever Lance Lynn, as a result of a magnificent 13 pitch at bat.

Southpaw Ross Detwiler, a St. Louis native completing his first year in the National's starting rotation, shook off his nerves and pitched a 6 inning gem, in which he allowed no earned runs.  Starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann pitched a flawless 7th inning out of the bullpen, striking out all three batters he faced.  Tyler Clippard, Washington's setup pitcher, and Drew Storen, the team's closer, struck out 5 combined batters.

Gio Gonzalez, a 21 game winner and a Cy Young candidate, will start the series finale Friday night against Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals.
