Nationals Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Marlins, 10-3
The Washington Nationals defeated the Florida Marlins, 10-3, at Dolphin Stadium. Leading the charge for Washington was left fielder Frank Diaz. He went 3 for 5 with 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Justin Verlander, the winning pitcher, is now 1-1. He went 8.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 10 and walking 4. The win makes Washington 63-85.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Rickie Weeks Jr. came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Florida pitcher Grant Roberts, he hit a first pitch cutter for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington on top, 5-3.

"Nervous? No," said Diaz. "It was my time to shine."
