Marlins Fall In The 9th Inning To Nationals 7-6
MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – The Miami Marlins set a franchise record with their 13th straight road loss.
Anthony Rendon helped the Washington Nationals win the kind of game they tended to lose earlier in the season.
Rendon lined a two-run single with one out in the ninth inning and the Nationals rallied past the Miami Marlins 7-6 on Friday night for their seventh victory in eight games.
Rendon had three hits to raise his average to .333 and drove in three runs, giving him 107 RBIs for the NL wild-card leaders.
“He does what he’s been doing all year. He’s been phenomenal,” manager Dave Martinez said. “To me, he’s a candidate for the MVP. He really is. He’s carried us in the big moments all year long.”
