WASHINGTON (AP) — All it took was two blown leads and an extra-inning loss in Game 3 of the young season for Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker already to be defending his relief corps.
“I mean, my bullpen — I love my bullpen,” Baker said. “These guys are going to be one of the best, if they’re not already.”
They were not at their best on this night. Justin Bour doubled in the go-ahead run with two outs in the 10th after the Marlins erased deficits in the eighth and ninth innings, and Miami earned its first win by beating Washington 4-3 Thursday.
