Hechavarria put Miami in front with a bases-clearing triple with two outs in the fourth inning. The hit came after Washington was unable to tag out Stanton in a rundown at third. After starting the season 1-for-22, Hechavarria has been one the Marlins' hottest hitters. On Saturday night, the shortstop belted a three-run homer. Miami last swept a three-game set from Washington at Marlins Park in May 2012.
Miami padded its lead to 5-2 in the fifth inning. Martin Prado singled and scored on Stanton's thunderous triple, which likely is out of any other ballpark. The towering drive hit the top of the wall in the cutout portion of center field, near the 418 marker.
