This is the offense the Miami Marlins have been looking for.
String together quality at-bats. Scratch home a few runs. Be tough outs at the plate. Be aggressive on the basepaths.
It all came together on Saturday.
The Marlins put up runs early against Washington Nationals starter Max Scherzer, responded each time the Nationals attempted to rallied and backed up Jose Urena’s second consecutive quality start with a 9-3 win at Marlins Park to clinch their first series of the season.
