Despite the shakeup in lineup order which saw Alex Call leading off and CJ Abrams hitting third, the Nationals offense looked completely flat again today, going 0-9 with RISP and grounding into 2 rally extinguishing double plays as they lose 3-1 to the Marlins to complete the sweep for them. Their sole run came in the 1st on a Luis Garcia Jr groundout, and it was crickets from there.
Hope flickered for a moment in the 9th as Alex Call was hit by the pitch and seemingly ensured James Wood would hit in the inning with the tying run on, but instead Josh Bell did what Josh Bell does and grounded into a game ending double play.
