WASHINGTON -- Those within the Nationals organization have swatted away talk about their closing window and will continue to do so, even as their biggest star and arguably their best player is set to enter free agency this offseason. On a day when the team and fans were celebrating Bryce Harper in what could be his final home game in a Nationals uniform, perhaps Harper's natural replacement in the outfield stole the spotlight.
Victor Robles collected four hits, including a two-run double and a three-run homer, to lead the Nationals to a 9-3 victory Wednesday over the Marlins in a game shortened to seven innings due to inclement weather.
