MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — A four-day series between division rivals became the tale of two halves.
It looked like the Washington Nationals were turning the corner scoring 19 runs in the first two games against the Miami Marlins.
However, after a 2-1 loss on Saturday the offensive struggles continued the next day. Jose Urena and three relievers combined on a two-hitter for the Miami Marlins in a 5-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday to split a four-game series.
“I think yesterday’s game was frustrating and today’s game was just flat,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.
