The Washingtonians showed some great resilience in a 7-4 victory over the Marlins. Although it was damaged from the lineup, Large bases are double cleared To give the Nats a lead, they did not surrender.
But it was a pitcher’s duel between Mitchell Parker and Edward Cabrera that started the game. Each starter put zero on the board for the first four innings. Neither lineup looked comfortable against opposition starters.
However, Parker faded after Cabrera rose to zero in the fifth. After catcher Liam Hicks hit to start the innings, the Marlins exploited Parker’s fielding flaws. The fish dropped two straight bunts. One is a hit, and the other is a sacrifice that Parker makes a slow error to put the batter first.
That meant there was no one on the bass. The Marlins underestimated shortstop Xavier Edwards. We drove together as an RBI base hit. Two batters later, and Kyle Stalker went home with two more in a double.
It was the 4-0 Marlins, and it looked like the so-called easy road trip started on the wrong foot. However, Josh Bell keeps Natt in the fight at the top of the big two-run homer in the top sixth place. Bell is only hits at .175, but his OPS is above .700 and is solid for the infamous starter.
This caused the NAT to scream. Parker scored zero in the sixth, with Lucas Sims keeping the Marlins scoreless in the seventh, and the stage was ready for a comeback.
Kabert Lewis began his eighth time with his second Walk of the Day, a rare feat for a young catcher. After that, Louis Garcia Jr. got a single. Following Josh Bell’s flyout and Alex Cole Walk, the stage was set for an astonishing hero.
When Nathaniel Lowe was ill and hurt from the lineup, I thought I wouldn’t see him today. But I think it’s too big for him to get away for him to take the chance. Paul DeJohn’s pinch hit Lowe put together a great bat. He was ruining the best pitch Anthony Bender had to offer on two strikes. I then drove a 98 mph sink on the left field line on 10 pitches at At Butt Low to clear the base and make it 5-4 nuts.
Illegal Lowe quickly went into a pinch, but moments like this are trying to make him a fan favorite on DC. To step up to the biggest moments of the game when you get sick, you need some big mental fortitude.
After Jose A. Feller kicked himself out of the eight-man jam, Nats was looking for insurance practice on the 9th. They quickly got them when James Wood hit the jaw dropping an opposing field home run.
There is a very large ballpark in Miami, so it’s rare to see a left-handed batsman go to the opposite field. It was a home run unicorn for the player unicorn.

Nats added another insurance after Josh Bell rang out from the start on the Alex Call Triple. It was a great game for Bell. He hit a home run but defended some nice plays in his first start of the season with his first start in one base. The Big Man also ran the bass well with that call triple.
It was another big day for Alex Cole. The Red Hot outfielder was 2-3, 2-3 on two walks, with an average of .435 and a base percentage of .531.
Kyle Finnegan closed the door to give Nat his fifth victory in six games after starting 1-6. Today, NAT has a chance to return to .500. This past week has been a very exciting and long-running experience for Nationals baseball.
