MIAMI — Trea Turner welcomed back manager Dave Martinez with two big swings.
Turner hit two solo homers, and the Washington Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 on Friday night.
Washington stayed one game ahead of Milwaukee for the top spot in the NL wild-card standings. The Nationals had dropped four of six.
“I felt I’ve been seeing the ball pretty decent,” Turner said. “Today all four at-bats, I had a good approach. The swing and timing was there as opposed to the last series. I feel good and hopefully roll it into tomorrow and keep going.
