In the series finale against the Florida marlins, the Nationals pitching staff finally put up a fight. Too bad the offense was nowhere to be seen; Washington was shutout 5-0 on the last game of a Marlins’ sweep.
For the second day in a row the Nationals had their starting pitcher exit with a lead and for the second day in the row, the bullpen blew it.
Trailing in the bottom of the ninth, Ryan Zimmerman stepped to the plate and absolutely crushed a Brad Lidge fastball halfway up the grass beyond the centerfield wall to give the Nationals a 7-5 victory.
