This will be dj's third consecutive start at Nationals Park and one with the 648 for DJ. Hers this year eight and a third innings. Here's the wine of the pitch swing at a Messi struck him out. He sets down anderson swinging. That's how this game gets started here this afternoon and a swing and a miss on the ball down and away. And now that's 10 strikeouts in exactly nine innings for DJ HS back back changeups. This one down the zone, you're going to get that swing a lot. Now, the wind, here's the pitch , swing it a pop up shallow right long run for Thomas Vargas going out Thomas coming in and lane Thomas makes the catch in and toward the line to retire the side in a 123 innings for left hander DJ H, Trevor Rogers out there for the Marlins this afternoon making his 14th start of the season. Trevor 1 to 7 with a 537 a soft line drive to first base jake Berger puts it away and that's the first out lane Thomas up there hacking cleanly out to left center Myers over to cut it. Thomas is going for two and hard into the bag for a hustle double well sinker down the middle of the plate. Hammers that 107 off the bat and lane gets on his high horse because Dame Myers does a great job to get to it and get off a good accurate throw lane too fast on that one. Winker 372 in the month of June. As he steps in here, here's the pitch swinging a ground ball toward the left side and through the left field, a base hit Thomas started back to second on the ground ball in front of him so he can only cross to third as de La Cruz gets the ball in to second base. So a ground ball single for Winker. The Nets big opportunity to send an early message here in game two. That's elevation line drive out to myers tagging easily scoring lane, Thomas and the Nets are on top. Join the Ssrb I number 34 11 broken bat flair in the air center field sinking fast. Myers can't get there. That's a base hit. Here's a throw back to second. They got him. What a play by Dan myers too big of a turn at second for Jesse Winker in the side is retired second inning. The nationals a 10 lead for dj. Hers late break strikeout number three, you pound the strike zone with the heater. Get some chase when you start doing it, get close with his cutter. Look at the cutter nasty right there almost looks like a slider beauty swing and a Miss Myers down on strikes quick inning again for DJ. Hers. But you can see this left hander. He's doing a phenomenal job. We are ready for the third inning. Emmanuel Rivera will lead off the Marlins against DJ H the three two pitch at the knees strike three called Rivera didn't think so. He thought that pitch was, has had a couple of high strike calls and a couple of low strike calls, one ball and two strikes and DJ is striking out nearly everybody here. The wind up the 32 delivery swing and a miss, he struck out the side here in the third elevated fastball down goes Becot has seven strikeouts in the first three innings. Rogers, the lefty faces CJ Abrams, 01 pitch is hit fairly deep. Left center field. Myers is on the run loses his. He makes the catch running into the wall in deep left center field. A beautiful running grab by Dane myers looking like a true center fielder out there this afternoon. That ball was absolutely mashed off the bat by CJ Abrams 100 and four miles an hour and myers cut that ball down. So now the batter is Lane Thomas Rogers fires had 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 Thomas and the Nats lead 2 to 0. 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 Garc-a is coming up here to pinch head for Jesse Winker. You mentioned Jesse tried to put the brakes on to get back to the bag and now his replacement is going to drop a base hit into left center and Garcia is going to go into second base standing up a called strike three Rogers punches, menees out looking and he strands Garcia Jr at second here in the third nationals. Two Marlins zero second time through the lineup for Miami DJ. Hers faces Tim Anderson. That's not even a sword. Tim Anderson strikes out 10 up 10 down eight on K he's got this natural run on his four save fastball and you see it just starts on the plate just a little bit. What a beautiful pitch by DJ Hs , swing a fly ball left field shallow toward the line moving in on it is Vargas still drifting. He makes the catch and that is 12 up and 12 down for the Marlins against DJ H DJ HS to face jake Berger top of the fifth eight strikeouts for hers 12 up, 12 down and that's a clean base hit to left hit extremely hard by Berger. And what a nice run to start the game. Four innings of perfect baseball by dj. Hurt drag three call on a fastball. That's number nine in sanchez twice. What a perfect spot. Nice job right here by dj. Hers. Her sets and the pitch swing and a foul tip held by Millis and Myers is out on strike again and this is his third big league start. A dominating performance. We are witnessing here this afternoon. 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 Stephen Strasburg is on the list. Joe Ross, Josiah Gray and now djs right in there. Ruhan frozen at the plate. That's number 11 and it's on the inside edge. Number 12 Nationals have not a pitcher strike out a dozen since Patrick Corbin nearly two years ago, a dozen for hers. So he's just too shy of Strasburg's rookie record. I mean, who thought anyone had ever challenged that six innings? The number is, he strikes out the side in the sixth inning. He goes hopping off the mound back to the dugout. What a performance by dj. Hers former Marlin Dillon Floro takes over for dj. Hers who had one of the most memorable pitching performances by Nats starter in recent years , 13 strikeouts, second most by a rookie in franchise history. The NATS have not had a pitcher strikeout more than 12 since Max Scherzer did it three years ago against the Yankees when he fanned 14. And this ball in the air right center 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 in fires the pitch and it's over the inside corner called strike three. Trevor Rogers for the first time since his all star season in 2021. Had it seven innings here this afternoon. Hunter Harvey is on to pitch the eighth inning after a 1237 pitch seventh for Dillon 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 away from the right handed batter. The Nationals have struck out the Marlins 17 times two to zero. Washington. Andrew Nardi's on the pitch for Miami against CJ Abrams. Abrams lifting one to right center sanchez back him in the wall. Abrams was watching it like he was way out of here and in all honesty should be standing on third base right now. He's looking at the nationals dugout like, hey, I thought I hit it out but that's a leadoff double. Joey Moness will come up, Joey lifting one down the left field line, flirting with the pole. You later, Joey Moness. Bang Zoom goes Joey Moness. He tucks one around the foul pole into section 106, a two run homer insurance. Indeed for the Nets. And it's a four game. Well, that's picking up a teammate right there helping everybody out. Three runs batted in for the day for Joey Menees, ties him with CJ Abrams for the club lead with 36 Cal Finnegan for the top of the ninth trying to get that kid the first big league win finne 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 Vargas, the infielder in the outfield two away here in the top of the ninth inning. Marlins are one out away from being shut out batter. Now is jake Berger this one out to left center field, they may not be done just yet. That one bangs off the wall and redirects on Vargas now will have to run against the wall Berger on his way to third and they're gonna, the big man up right there. I thought he was going for it. That ball hit that wall in left center field in the perfect spot and the ball ricocheted, he had to run it down and by the time he ran it down, Berger was almost at third base. I thought be was going to get himself. And inside the park he was running out of the batter's box , two out four delivers a ground ball diving stop Lipscomb at third to his left up and throwing and a curly in the box trey Lipscomb 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 djs and the Nationals win again. They have won seven of their last eight.
