Summary

The Nats lost 4-1 on Wednesday afternoon and it completed a three game sweep for the Marlins. Mark & Al convene after the Nationals dropped to 1-5 on the season vs. Miami and are now back to one game below .500 overall. (07:00) The offense was little match for Miami starter Max Meyer as he only allowed one run in seven innings of work. The Nationals only scored seven total runs during this series in Navy Yard. (08:30) Dylan Crews drove in the only run with a RBI fielder's choice in the bottom of the 3rd. Crews' OPS is just at .547 through 48 Big League at bats this season. (11:15) Keibert Ruiz started behind the plate and Drew Millas did not play on Wednesday. Millas exited Tuesday night after lacerating his lip on a slide into 3rd base. (13:30) Nasim Nuñez made a great defensive play off a hard hit ground ball in the top of the 5th. Nuñez has made many impressive plays in the field so far this season at 2B. (18:00) The bullpen struggled as five relievers combined to allow three runs in just over four innings of work. Clayton Better gave up the pivotal 2-run single to Joe Mack in the top of the 8th that put the Marlins up 3-1. (23:00) Andrew Alvarez only allowed a solo homer as he pitched into the 5th. Alvarez's ERA sits at 3.54 through six Major League appearances this season. (26:10) Who are the top pitchers behind Alvarez in the minor league pipeline? (31:30) The Nats finished the home stand at 2-4 and head to Arizona on Friday to begin a six game road trip.
