The Nationals struck for four runs, all with two outs in the fifth inning, knocking Edinson Volquez out of the game. Zimmerman had a two-run double in the inning.
Marcell Ozuna blasted a two-run homer for the Marlins in the fifth inning, bolstering his All-Star credentials as he now has 19 homers and 52 RBIs. Ozuna also scored Miami's first run, racing through third-base coach Fredi Gonzalez's stop sign in the fourth inning on J.T. Realmuto's double.
Harper's two-out, two-run single in the third inning gave the Nationals the early lead, and it also extended the probable National League All-Star's hitting streak to 13 games, a career high.
