Comebacks not enough as Nats' 'pen struggles

WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Dave Martinez knows he has asked a lot of his bullpen recently, especially as they have had to endure short outings from their starting pitchers and are routinely locked in tight games. Thanks to a plethora of injuries, he also only has a few reliable arms left in the bullpen, leaning heavily on Justin Miller and Koda Glover.

Both faltered in Saturday night's 7-5 loss to the Marlins in 10 innings at Nationals Park. Miller gave up a go-ahead home run in the ninth to JT Riddle but was saved by Adam Eaton's solo homer to tie the game in the bottom of the inning.
