It’s becoming a way-too familiar script.
Everyone marveled at Giancarlo Stanton’s latest majestic home run in the second inning, which as it has a league-best 18 times this year, gave the Marlins a lead.
But by the sixth inning, the Nationals erased that two-run advantage and secured a 3-2 comeback victory after center fielder Brian Goodwin homered to right field in the eighth.
Reliever Junichi Tazawa surrendered the leadoff solo blast to condemn the Marlins (53-60) to a third loss in four games against the Nationals (68-45), which now have a 15-game lead over them in the National League East.
