Something you don’t see often: the Marlins lost by six runs on Tuesday despite an expected batting average (.308) that was 89 points higher than the Nationals (.219).
Nick Fortes became the first player ever to homer in each of his first two Marlins starts.
In his Triple-A Jacksonville debut, outfield prospect Peyton Burdick went 0-for-3 (strikeout, pop out and groundout) with a walk.
