Nats Nightly

Miami Marlins' starter Jose Fernandez wasn't particularly sharp against the Washington Nationals, but he managed to strike out nine in six innings of work in what ended up being a 6-1 win in Marlins Park. Tanner Roark struggled for the second time this season against Miami and the Nats' bats couldn't generate much offense as they dropped the first game of their four-game set in South Florida. Nationals 9-3 after the loss, which was their second straight loss.
