Marlins Aim For Rare Series Win Against First Place Nationals

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Following a series opener dominated by pitching, the Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals put their offensive talents on display Tuesday night.

The Nationals jumped out to an early 6-0 lead only to see their advantage evaporate thanks to a leaky bullpen, giving the Marlins an impressive 7-6 comeback win.

Marcell Ozuna provided the biggest shot of the game with a three-run homer, giving him 25 dingers and a whopping 84 RBIs on the season.

Washington holds a 13.5 game lead over the second place Marlins in the NL East and Miami trails the second Wild Card spot by 9.
