Marlins hit 3 straight homers and hold Nationals hitless until 6th inning of
7-3 victory
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Joe Mack, Heriberto Hernndez and Otto Lopez hit successive
home runs in the fifth inning to power the Miami Marlins past the Washington
Nationals 7-3 on Tuesday night.
Hernndez added a two-run shot in the ninth for the Marlins, who didn't give up
a hit until Drew Millas singled leading off the sixth against Ryan Gusto, the
second Miami reliever.
Luis Garca Jr. had an RBI groundout later in the inning and Washington scored
twice in the seventh to cut it to 4-3. But the Marlins tacked on three
insurance runs in the ninth when Mack drove in his third run of the game with a
sacrifice bunt and Hernndez homered off Mitchell Parker.
Mack's two-run homer off Miles Mikolas (1-5) in the fifth opened the scoring.
Mikolas was charged with six runs and six hits in six innings after Nationals
opener Richard Lovelady worked two hitless innings.
