Overview

  • Jesús Sánchez broke a 2-2 tie with a one-out homer in the seventh off Brad Lord to give Miami the lead
  • Janson Junk provided 5⅔ shutout innings in relief, marking his longest appearance of the season, before Anthony Bender and Calvin Faucher closed out the game
  • Washington managed a two-run ninth to load the bases but failed to capitalize as Faucher induced James Wood’s popup to end the rally
  • The win marked the Marlins’ sixth series triumph of the season and their first consecutive victories since late May
  • Washington dropped its seventh straight game and will try to snap the skid Sunday when RHP Eury Pérez faces LHP MacKenzie Gore
