The Miami Marlins’ offense had no problem executing against the Washington Nationals’ Max Scherzer on Saturday night to clinch their first series victory of the season.
Sunday against Stephen Strasburg was another story.
The Marlins managed just two hits off the three-time All-Star while striking out 11 times during Strasburg’s eight shutout innings on the mound to drop the series finale against the Nationals 5-0 and miss out on their first series sweep since September 2017.
