Noche de Sixto: Top prospect flashes dominance, helps Marlins to doubleheader split

Game 1: Marlins 4, Nationals 5 (F/7)

The doubleheader opener looked like a lost cause almost immediately. After Scherzer worked a 1-2-3 first inning, Castano was out of sync, allowing three of the first four Nationals to reach base safely. Manager Don Mattingly gave him the extremely quick hook in favor of Josh A. Smith, who calmed things down for the next several innings.

But passing through the lineup a second time in the bottom of the fourth, the Marlins right-hander began to miss his spots.
