The Marlins were searching for anything—literally anything—to get the offense on a hot streak. After scoring just five total runs in their last 36 innings of play, the bats collectively woke up off left-hander Jon Lester Friday night in the second of a four-game series at loanDepot park. The final score? Marlins 11, Nationals 2.
Yes, the Marlins scored 11 runs in one baseball game and four came in the opening inning, thanks in large part to Miguel Rojas’ one-out, three-run home run to left moments after Adam Duvall drove home Starling Marte from second with a hard single to left field.
