Nats Edge Marlins in Extra Innings | Washington Nationals News

The Nationals snap a three-game losing streak with a gritty 5-4 extra-innings win over the Marlins, extending their home-field dominance in this heated series. Heriberto Hernández lights it up with a homer and two RBIs while batting .300+ in his last 15 games. Miami’s offense shows flashes but is plagued by 17 strikeouts — their worst since late last season. Washington now sits at 65-73, while Miami continues its road slide, losing nine of 11 away games. Sunday’s rubber match at Nationals Park kicks off at 12:15 PM ET, with Janson Junk (improving) facing Andrew Alvarez (mixed results). Both teams need momentum — the Nats to keep rolling at home, the Marlins to finally break their road curse. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
