Nationals vs. Marlins - Game Preview - September 18, 2018 - ESPN
MIAMI -- Starlin Castro said he has been feeling "a little lost" at the plate lately.
Monday night, he rediscovered his stroke, belting a two-run double and a solo homer as his Miami Marlins defeated the visiting Washington Nationals 8-5.
The Marlins are in last place in the National League East and have not been in contention all year, so the victory was merely for pride and the stat books.
But the Nationals (76-75), who won this division three of the past four years, including the past two in a row by large margins, are a different story.
The Nationals are now long-shots to make this postseason, and Monday's performance -- giving up a 4-0 lead -- had to hurt.
