Nationals vs. Marlins Game Highlights (4/28/24) | MLB Highlights

After playing baseball with the roof open here on Friday night, the roof is closed for the second straight day in game three of a four game series between the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins. The Marlins are not playing good ball right now. The Nationals are in nearly every ball game they've played even against quality competition. You come down here, you got to make the most of this opportunity. Brian weathers gets the ball today. He'll make his sixth start of the season coming off a loss against the Braves on Monday night in Atlanta, but he did a great job of keeping the ball on the ground, er, a solid no more than three earned runs in an outing yet this year, he's been really consistent for this club and hopefully he keeps it up here today. So ready to go Marlins trying to snap a five game losing streak here today in the first pitch of the afternoon, lifted in the air to left center field and playable for Brian de la Cruz. Here is Nick Senzel makes up the strikeout. There are two way good arm motion, great location, Jesse Winkers, the batter. Now nobody on two outs on and missed strike three. There is that improving change up and weathers, punches out two in the top of the first Patrick Corbin 18 career starts against the Marlins 6.5. Er, a and a 345 batting average against table setter leading things off. It's luis, the rise is a 340 average since the zero for 13 and that will go up another tip right here, flips it down the left field line and Brian de La Cruz in left field today, doubling a walk in the series one for eight adds up the middle for a base hit, thought about it but he stopped. So opponents hitting nearly 350 against this year and the first two Marlins with base hits, here's josh Bell, ground ball to shortstop, bobbled by Abrams and the bases will be loaded. A really clean defensive team. The Washington Nationals that most likely an error is only going to be their eighth. They had the fewest in the national league at the start of play. Now is a chance to capitalize on that error. Bases loaded. Nobody out. And here is Jazz. Four grand slams for Jazz has won this year had him in back to back days last year. This one is in the air to left center field, got grand slam for , that's a load up. A lot of people's backs right there. What a beautiful swing by Jazz facing the lefty not trying to pull the ball, just let it come to me and he showed off his power, the opposite field and they took advantage of that error by CJ Abrams. Dane Myers called today garcia going on the IL that will help keeps it fair. This should be extra bases for the great Dane who is rounding second and heading to third and he will get there. Good job by Dan myers. Welcome back, Keep it going. Bru has collected back to back multi hit games for the first time this season. He's four for seven in this series, this one out to right center and it will get down and get to the Rohan thinking about three back to back triples for the Marlins in the first by the Marlin hitters have had a great game plan against Corbyn, not trying to pull balls pitches out over the plate, taking it the other way that two seamer up in the zone a little. Well, you know what else is exciting is runs and the Marlins have been looking for them a lot , but they already have five runs in the first here today. Nine hitter for the Marlins in their lineup hitting in the first inning and driving home a run. Nick Cortez right up the middle a base hit the Marlins take a six nothing lead. Marlins again across the board. Haven't scored a ton of runs this year, but in the first inning, how about 23 of them. Now, fourth most bases are now loaded for the nationals here in the second Jacob Young off of his huge day yesterday. A chance to chip into this 60. Marlins lead into right field and it stays up for Dane myers. A sigh of relief for Ryan weathers still six nothing. Now, the Marlins have runners at first and second base brings up Emmanuel Rivera who lined out to short in the first inning. He had been three for three lifetime against Corbin hits that one hard and it gets through Meneses and goes down the right field line. One run will score. They will hold Jazz and Rivera gets to second base Marlins get another run. So a two base hit RB I for Rivera on a ball well struck and again going the other way against Corman, throw a lot of pitches today, two walks, two hit by pitches. So they're at the corners now with one. Jacob Young sent a bullet out to right field in the second wins this one over to third and it's past Bruha in to score easily as Lipscomb and Jacob Young continues to do damage six game hitting streak. Now his fifth knock of this series and the Nets are on the board in the fourth. Now, Abrams a line drive to right, this is over the head of myers and off the track two runs will score and the comeback begins for the Nets. It's 7 to 3. So CJ on base twice today now has reached in a career high 14 straight games. Here's Senzel nick has struck out flied to deep center. Senzel lines one out to right center back is Chisholm. It's gone. Nick Senzel four homers in his last five games. The NATS have a five run inning and this is a two run ball game and he destroyed this 1104 off the bat. Nick Sense my goodness, nick Sensel. The Nats storming back with five runs in the top of the fourth. Now Patrick Corbin got to try and keep it right here, sends this one to right center ball struck. Well, Alex call after it makes the catch. De La Cruz had turned around second throw coming on the way he got him. Could this be another game that the nationals double off a runner? Well, a great play by Alex Cole on this but Jacob Young, the off outfielder on this, screaming at him. Get it in, get it in, get it in. Jacob Young who doubled down the left field line to drive a run last time up in the fourth. He's one for 22 on one out top of the fifth for the Nats and a swing and a line drive in a right center field that's a base hit lips come around third being waved on the ball over run in heading for third on the play is Cole holding it first with a single to right and a run batted. It is Jacob Young and it's now a one run game. It's the Marlins seven in the national six. So here is another guy swinging it. Well, Nicks out two run homer to deep right center in the fourth inning. This ball is crushed. Nick Senzel has done it again and the Nats have the lead in the fifth. Nick Senzel his second homer of the game, his fifth in his last five games. And the Nets storm back from seven down to take a 97 lead. How about this comeback by his nationals team trailing seven nothing after the second. They played five runs in the fourth four so far in the fifth and nine unanswered has them on top and it'll be 1st and 3rd for the nationals. Here's alex Cole who's had a tremendous ball game runner takes off from first Lipscomb. They're gonna throw through throw now coming home, he steals home to put the Nets on top 10 to 7. Do it. Boys Lipscomb safe at second and a perfectly execute the double steal and they steal another run ball four. The leadoff walk. That's a start. Tim Anderson. Zero for three today. All three strikeouts swinging down the right field line, fair ball into the corner. Jazz racing to third and he is going to head home. It will be an RB I double for Tim Anderson. Boy, did he? And the Marlins need that another spot where the Marlins play the platoons here, Jesus Sanchez comes off the bench ground ball right side it, he'll score pinch hit RB I single for Jesus Sanchez. And it's a one run game wild one today here in the Magic City. 10, 9 nationals in front, bottom of the seventh inning goes off speed and Fortes grounds it to third lips come the throw across , picked by Menees and the Nats get out of the seventh. Wow, what a play Trey Lipscomb. But Joey Moness finishes off, stick it and gets away from the catcher. Fortes huge 180 ft gained by the Nats. There. Lips come to third called to second spiked again. Back to the backstop pitcher can beat him. Fortes didn't give it to the pitcher, tried to take it himself. Lipscomb beat him to home plate and the Nats do add on in the eight. Here's Jacob Young for the right side. Jacob Young does it again. My goodness, his third hit of the game and it makes it 12, 9 nets. But al Finnegan and the Nationals are a strike away from a tremendous comfort behind win. Did he tip it? He did not strike out of Sanchez and this game is over the nationals down. Seven nothing storm back score 10 unanswered and win this ballgame. 12 to 9
