No, that’s not a misprint. After an 11-hit performance against the Washington Nationals and pitcher Max Scherzer, the Marlins have a two-game winning streak, the best in their division.

Per MLB.com, “Curtis Granderson belted a home run and Brian Anderson chipped in with two doubles and an RBI, and with production up-and-down the lineup, the Marlins grinded out a 9-3 victory against the Nationals.
