  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
St. Louis Rams (9-8) 1 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 0 5 8 1
Washington Commanders (13-4) 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 4 X 6 9 1
Commanders Win Squeaker, 6-5, Over Rams
A good performance from shortstop Jason Earls helped the Washington Commanders defeat the St. Louis Rams, 6-5. Earls went 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk for the Commanders. Washington goes to 13-4 with the win.

Had Elijah Dodson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Dodson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Commanders.

"We're feeling good in this clubhouse right now after that one," Dodson told the Washington Today.
