The Washington Nationals finished up a dissapointing three game series with the Florida Marlins with a 4-2 loss on Wednesday afternoon. The Nationals had a 2-0 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth innint but the Marlins then scored four runs over the next three innings to pull away for the victory. With the loss, the Nationals lost two our of three games to the Marlins.
Odalis Perez pitched 6 2/3 innings and gave up five hits and two runs. Perez didn’t pitch to badly and ended up getting a no decision in the game. Charlie Manning was charged with one run after he gave up two hits without recording an out and took the loss to fall to 0-2 on the season. Saul Rivera was also charged with one run in the eighth inning. Bad job by the bullpen at the end of the game.
Paul Lo Duca had both rbi’s for the Nationals as he singled in two runs in the second inning to get the Nationals on the scoreboard. The bad news was that those were the only two runs in the game for the Nats.
The Nationals will now start a four game series with the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
