Overview
- Xavier Edwards recorded three hits, including a three-run homer in the eighth, as Miami snapped a five-game slide against Washington.
- Jakob Marsee had four hits from the leadoff spot and Eric Wagaman delivered the tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth.
- A sixth-inning sequence began with a CJ Abrams error, included a missed tag and upheld replay ruling at second, and led to ejections of interim manager Miguel Cairo and starter Jake Irvin.
- Eury Pérez struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings for Miami, Lake Bachar earned the win in relief, and Irvin was charged with the loss after Washington’s early 3-0 lead vanished.
- The series is now a split after Washington’s 7-5 win the previous night that featured Josh Bell’s three-run homer and Mitchell Parker’s 7 2/3 strong innings, with Thursday’s probables listed as MacKenzie Gore for the Nationals and Ryan Weathers for the Marlins.
