Another solid start for the Washington Nationals, who got six strong from Aníbal Sánchez, more home runs for the Nationals, with both Kurt Suzuki and Anthony Rendon going deep to extend the team’s home run streak to 18-straight games, and another win for the Nats, who swept the Miami Marlins for the second series in a row and won their fourth straight, their eighth in the last nine, and their 26th in the last 36, 5-2 final.
Sánchez vs the Fish: Signed by the Boston Red Sox out of Venezuela in 2001 and traded to the then-Florida Marlins in 2005, Aníbal Sánchez spent his first seven seasons as a Marlin.
