June swoon? More like June boom. The Marlins jumped on Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals behind a seven-run performance from the offense that included another home run from Jesús Sánchez.
Strasburg, who was making his first start since June 1 of last season after dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, gave up three runs in the first inning. The Marlins had only scored 13 first-inning runs all year prior to Thursday night.
The three runs came from a Jesús Sánchez RBI double and a Jon Berti two-RBI single.
