At the beginning of the 2022 season, Joey Wendle was residing in the bottom half of the Marlins batting order while Jon Berti was buried on the bench. For the foreseeable future, we should be frequently seeing them both atop the lineup—that worked out alright on Friday night. Wendle went 2-for-4 with a walk in his return from the injured list and Berti added two more stolen bases to his MLB-leading total in a 6-3 victory over the Nationals.
Josiah Gray and the Marlins are well-acquainted—his turn in the rotation has come up during every series between these teams so far this year.
