Stephen Strasburg started for Washington and was saddled with his third loss of the season after allowing two runs in the second inning. He left the game after throwing three innings because of shoulder irritation.
With the victory, the Marlins improved to 13-14, while the Nationals (13-15) saw their three-game winning streak snapped.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Marlins do their damage in the second: The bottom four hitters in the Marlins' lineup all reached base in succession to begin the second inning against Strasburg. Before the Nats could record an out, Miami had a 2-0 lead.
