Hernandez throws complete-game shutout as Nationals thump Cardinals 10-0

It's finally safe to say the Nationals are on a roll. After one of their most dominant wins of the season Wednesday night, it'd be tough to say anything else.

They hit four homers and cranked out 15 hits against the Cardinals, with Michael Morse tallying his second multi-homer game in three weeks. And Livan Hernandez pitched a complete-game shutout, allowing just three hits in a 10-0 win over St. Louis.

The Nationals have won five straight games for the first time since the end of the 2009 season, when they finished the year on a seven-game win streak. And since the seventh inning of last night's 8-6 win, they've scored 16 runs.

Danny Espinosa and Jayson Werth also homered for the Nationals; Espinosa's shot followed Morse's second homer in the seventh inning, giving the Nationals their first back-to-back homers of the year.

More from the clubhouse in a little bit.
