Nationals blow 4-0 lead, drop 8-5 decision to Marlins in series opener in Miami...

Jimmy Cordero (0.1 IP, 4 H, 3 ER) and Koda Glover (1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 2 ER) malfunctioned and the Washington Nationals blew a 4-0 lead in what ended up an 8-5 loss to the Miami Marlins in tonight’s series opener in Marlins Park.

Erick Fedde tossed four scoreless innings before two walks caused him trouble in the fifth, both Victor Robles (his first in the majors) and Anthony Rendon hit home runs, and the Nationals did tie things up at five after falling behind in the sixth, but the Marlins rallied to take the lead in the bottom of the seventh and held on for the win.
