The Marlins beat the Nationals Friday night in the opener of a crucial five-game series, 3-2. Shortstop Miguel Rojas homered on his first swing since returning from the injured list, the pitching staff racked up 12 strikeouts while only issuing a single walk, and the Fish climbed back above the .500 mark. After failing in their five previous chances, they captured the 2,000th regular season win in franchise history.
For the first time in a full week, the Marlins WIN!!!
