Marlins vs. Nationals Game Highlights (6/14/24) | MLB Highlights

For mckenzie go 14th start on the year five and five with a 344, a 68 innings. The 22 walks. That's fine. It's a 4 to 1 ratio really that you like or somewhat close to the 4 to 1 ratio that you like. Jazz in that leadoff spot with a lefty on the bump and lines this one into right center field, there's a base hit. Now the batter is Brian de La Cruz, the left fielder and Then it sets up the heater de la Cruz , a little Tardy next up Jake Berger and up there hacking and there's some real soft contact. So the leadoff base hit, not a problem for mckenzie Gore sean anderson, the pitcher tonight for the Marlins. He's coming up in a spot start drafted by the Giants traded over to the red Sox pin with a bunch of teams, bunch of countries bottom of the first inning and CJ Abrams to lead off for the Nationals. Abrams rips it right on the chalk line and fair into the corner extra bases for CJ Abrams thinking of three, the throw from Lopez in time. What a tag for Rivera as Abrams was sliding by Abrams bidding for his sixth triple of the season in that rundown. Excuse me, that cut off and relay was ran to perfection by the Marlins. Now, Lane Thomas Thomas is going to get a hit to right field and Lane Thomas Knight hits over an eight game streak. Now, Thomas goes to second on a wild pitch. So now it's up to Eddie Rosario to try and get Thomas home from second. This one out to left center Jazz closing in on it, leaps at the last second and makes the catch and that's how the first inning ends, shortstop digs in right now coming off his best series and he starts this series off with a base hit. That is a thing of beauty and it looks like a is finally found some comfort in the batter's box here. Now is Dane Myers all and two strikes to Dane myers and that got Dane to a base hit and a hit by pitch and the Marlins have two on with one out in the dirt. Ruiz finds it and good heads up baserunning by Tim Anderson and the trail runner Dane myers both moving up 90 ft on a ball that didn't get more than 5 ft away from Ruiz. Now, the batter is Nick Fortes two away here in the inning. Ground ball hit to third behind the bag long throw to first. Not in time. That's an infield single for Nick Fortes an RB I and the Marlins have a 10 lead runners 1st and 3rd for Miami now with two out top of the order and he gets the strikeout. So Three K's already but a long inning with a couple of hits, a hit better and some runners moving around Miami the early lead in between innings. Show this not exactly what happens all the time, but look, we saw this last year with Mackenzie Gore Victor Roll was on play. I think when you have a starting pitcher that pitches every fifth day, sixth day he wants, he wants you engaged. And I feel like that's a little part of this might have taken a little bit to what nick Sanel did on that play, whether it was good or bad, who knows? Motions are good. Just keep it right there two minute away. Now, nick Sanel and send out first pitch swinging out to Short Anderson to Lopez and the Nets gone in a hurry in the bottom of the second. Young is on board for CJ Abrams but starts in the home half of the third inning. And that one cut off by Lopez, either he was trying to unload it before he got to the ground or just kicked out of there. Not sure, but bottom line is two on nobody out and a big spot for Lane Thomas and he pulls one down the line if it stays fair and it hits the foul pole or the fair pole C U leader 31 nationals, Jesse Winker base hit Eddie Rosario fly ball to center. First time. This ball hit hard to right by Rosario. That's going to clear Myers out there and the nets will have 2nd and 3rd nobody out. So here is Messes and it's another base hit. Weaker home. Here comes Rosario, the Nets with a half dozen in a row and just like that, it's 5 to 1. So here's CJ Abrams. He has a double thrown out at third. He has an infield hit and he bats for the second time in the inning with the bases loaded and that one's going to drop to left home is Maness Garcia on the way. The Nets lead it 7 to 1. They give Mackenzie Gore a 7 to 1 lead to work with as Tim anderson will lead off the top of the fourth. Hey, another day, another multi hit effort for Tim anderson. Now here's Rivera swinging a ground ball toward the middle. Could be two. Garcia feeds Abrams for one plenty of time to first two. A double play. Garcia and Abrams hammered it up on the way back to the dugout. Nifty turn there. 463, two K's in the inning seven through five by Mackenzie Gore pitching wonderfully, a 123 inning for Gore is his first of the night. Jake Berger draws a one out walk here in the sixth here's the second baseman Otto Lopez one on one out bouncing ball back to Gore double clutch and that throw is going to end up in center field may have alligator armed it just a little bit. See what the Marlins can do with that break. Now, two on one out now, Tim Anderson and now Mackenzie Gore on a nasty pitch down and in gets a second out of the inning , taking matters into his own hand right there. So Gore trying to pitch around the air and post to zero bouncer left side, nick Senzel waits for the runner to clear and Then Rifles went over to first and Mackenzie Gore and the Nats are out of the inning. Here we go. Bottom six. Young Abrams Thomas and young great job going the other way. He's two for three nats lead 7 to 1. They have two on and one out. Jesse Winker at the plate runners 1st and 3rd breaking ball served in the center field. A base hit for Winker. This will bring in Young Nationals lead 8 to 1 RB I single for Jesse Winker. Mackenzie Gore punches out 10 Marlins third time this seventh career double digit strikeout game for Mackenzie Gore. And that's it. What a way to finish it off. Young guys doing their thing. Mackenzie was great for seven innings and here's Jacob Barnes who did pitch yesterday but he got the Nats out of a jam thus throwing only six pitches in Detroit Barnes deals and pokes this one into right center. Feel good piece of two strike hitting there for DLC. There's two outs and here comes Otto Lopez swing and a Miss number one for Barnes, number 11 for the NATS staff against the free swinging fish. And it will be good to see Jordan Weems get some work here in the ninth and for Jordan, his 27th game been struggling of late. What's the struggle keeping that slider down in the zone fastball off the barrel and it's middle part of the plate. Tim Anderson two for three. And the pitch and that is a ground ball hit off the bag at second into center field. It's a three hit night for Tim Anderson, a fastball misses up and away ball four and the first two men have reached for the Marlins, so he got it out. Hopefully you can settle in and get this thing over with Ortez one for three drove in the Marlins only run and a little temper Williams can underhand to Joey Meneses runners move up all that matters. Two outs. Now here in the ninth Anderson the third bruja, the second two out here in the top of the ninth inning and nick Gordon will get into bat as well and this one to right for Lane Thomas, he makes the catch and a curly Ws in the books, the nationals back into the win column after dropping the final in Detroit yesterday and the NATS have won six of their last seven games to get to within three games of 500. Mackenzie Gore strikes out 10 in seven innings allowing one run. That's how you start out at home stand right there. Boys.
