first three Innings now Rogers the Lefty faces CJ Abrams 01 pitches hit fairly deep left center field Dane Myers is on the Run loses his LD he makes the catch running into the wall and deep left center field a beautiful running grab by DNE Meyers looking like a true center fielder out there this afternoon that ball was absolutely mashed off the bat by CJ Abrams 104 milph and Myers has cut that ball down so now the batter is Lane Thomas Rogers fires and a swing and a Fly ball well hit to right center field back on this one goes Sanchez to the warning track looking up and it is gone it just clears the big wall in right center a home run for Lane Thomas and the N lead two to nothing that's number six for Lane and his second Homer here in this series two in a row for the lane train which is on a big time roll so today he reaches a nine-game hitting streak with a double and that home run Luis Garcia's coming up here to pinch head for Jesse Winker we mentioned Jesse tried to put

and Myers is out on strikes again and this is third Big League start what a dominating performance we are witnessing here this afternoon well it's a short list of Nationals pitchers who have a 10 strikeout game in one of their first three big league starts we know Steven straber is on the list Joe Ross Josiah gray and now DJ her right in there ruhan Frozen at the plate that's number 11 and that's on the Inside Edge number 12 National s not had a pitcher strike out a dozen since Patrick Corbin nearly two years ago a dozen for hers so so he's just too shy of strasberg's rookie record I mean who who thought anyone would ever challenge that oh my six Innings the number is 13 He strikes out the side in the sixth inning goes hopping off the mound back to the Dugout what a performance by DJ hers former Marlon Dylan floro takes over for DJ hers who had one of the most memorable pitching performances by Nat starter in recent years 13 strikeouts second most by a rookie in franchise history the that's have not had a pitcher strike up more than 12 since Max Scherzer did it 3 years ago against the Yankees when he faned 14 and this ball high in the air right center lane Thomas we can see his sunglasses blazing in the sunlight and he caught that maybe a step and a half in front of that scoreboard nice play by Lane Trevor Rogers still out there giving the Marlins exactly what they need from a pitching perspective today Trevor Rogers kicks and fires the pitch and it's over the inside corner called strike three Trevor Rogers for the first time since his Allstar season in 2021 haded seven Innings here this afternoon Hunter Harvey is on to pitch the eighth inning after a One two3 S pitch seventh for Dylan floro Otto Lopez draws a two out walk and now the bases are loaded for Tim Anderson who's been the best Marlins hitter of late he's hitting four straight swing and a miss on a ball Sliding Away from the right-handed batter the Nationals have struck out the the marins 17 times today so two nothing Washington Andrew nard is on the pitch for Miami against CJ Abrams Abrams lifting one to Right Center Sanchez back off him in the wall CJ Abrams was watching it like it was way out of here and in all honesty should be standing on third base right now he's looking at that Nationals Dugout like hey I thought I hit it out but that's a lead off double and now Joy Maness will come up Joey lifting one down the left field line flirting with the pole see you later Joey manessis bang Zoom goes Joey manessis he tucks one around the foul pole into section 106 a two-run homer Insurance indeed for the Nets and it's a four nothing game well that's picking up a teammate right there helping everybody out three runs batted in for the day for Joey manessis ties him with CJ Abrams for the club lead with 36 Cal finigan for the top of the ninth trying to get that kid the first big league win fing his pitch swung on hit in the air to left field deep toward the corner Vargas going back warning track toward the wall still on the run into a slide and he made the catch and he lands on the seat of his pants pounding his right hand on his chest with a huge smile on his face he's an Entertainer folks what a play by elaro Vargas the fielder in the Outfield two away here in the top of the ninth inning Marlins are one out away from being shut out battered now is Jake berer this one out toward left center field they may not be done just yet that one bangs off the wall and redirects on Vargas now he'll have to run against the wall burer on his way to Third and they're going to hold the big man up right there oh he'd had it I thought he was going for it that ball hit that wall in left center field in the perfect spot and the ball ricocheted and he had to run it down and by the time he ran it down Burger was almost at third base I thought Burger was going to get himself and inside the Parker he was running out of the batter's box two out four nothing Nats finnean delivers SW ground ball diving stop libum at third to his left up and throwing and a curly W's in the books Trey lipam flashing the leather with a diving play to his left and throws out Sanchez to end the ball game and it's the first Big League win for DJ hers and the Nationals win again they have won seven of their last eight
