Nationals vs. Marlins Game Highlights (9/3/24) | MLB Highlights

Max Meyer will make his 11th start of the season. First time that we see him since that start in Denver Cruz, a line drive and Dylan Cruz for the sixth time in his seven games as a big leaguer has reached base safely all around players, his tools off and he's on the move and he's out the wind of the pitch breaking ball chopped on the ground to third. Norby backs up on it had 1 ft on the turf, long throw on one hop can't be handled it first and bounces over toward the stands and Chaparro was on his way to second three balls and two strikes in his swing and a miss struck him out. The inning is over. They have a chance to start this series against the Marlins with a guy on the mound who's suddenly pitching pretty great right now. Patrick Corbin has won his last two starts and his last one was special against a really good Yankees team. Corbin gets a call. Edwards rung up. Connor. Norby wraps this one into left field, a base hit down in front of wood and a knock for Norby. He's trying to get those ground balls. He's trying to roll those double plays. Berger can stay out of one right here. One for eight in the series against San Francisco. Runner goes as this bat is shattered. Garcia applies the tag and Then makes the play at first watch the heads up play right here by him. It's not a normal play out of the ordinary right there that he made face the cleanup man, Jonah Bride here in the second move swings at the first offering and will be retired by CJ Abrams. Here was a softly hit line drive into center field in a one out base hit for Jesus sanchez gets a check swing and Lopez went too far. Orban second strikeout one one. The runner takes off. Here's a throw down to second base diving into second is sanchez a little slow to get up so he'll stay put, getting attention again at second base. It was a slide attempt the other day that he was a little slow to get up and looks like he's gonna come out of the game inside. It's ball four, got him. Orban goes back to the slider gets a big strikeout of Staar standard mid afternoon shower as Kert Ruiz lines one fair inside the bag at first and get deep into the corner. Kart's going to think about it and Then shut it down with nobody out leadoff double for the Nats catcher here in the third. And so Ruiz immediately snaps his O for 22 skid. It's Jacob Young in there and this one's inside the bag as well. Hebert Ruiz will come in to score. Jacob Young thinking about two throw on the way. Got it. Young has put the nationals on top. This one in the air out to shallow center field. Long run in for pace and hill put that one away to left field stour, drifting back has room. He makes the catch in. The inning is over 3 to 1 is low ball four and the Marlins have the leadoff man aboard. Popped out to right center back is Garcia in his Cruz who will make the call and the catch Patrick Corbin paints the outside edge looking for that cutter burger out to left center field. That one gets down for a base hit for thinking three throw goes to second. So they'll move up that extra 90 ft rather easily to extend this inning 1st and 3rd for the Marlins. Now you don't know what's coming and you go paint slider or sinker away Corbin a couple of called strike threes in this third inning, reached on error in the first innings batting third in the Nationals lineup. The pitch, a line drive hooked to left field corner, will it stay fair? It's way back there and it lands fair and bounces on the warning track and off the fence at the 344 mark is on his way to second as the ball played back in by Stour and for the second inning in a row, the nationals have a leadoff double takes Lowe and another walk drawn by James Wood. So a double and a walk Joey Gallo with two on and one out high fly ball to deep center back on. It is Pache at the track at the wall. It's gone. Joey Gallo. A big fly his sixth of the season and his three run shot has put the Nats on top four, nothing. Another line drive to the right side from Kert. He has a hit in back to back innings. Young puts a good swing on one into the corner and right that will get down and hop over the wall that will save the Marlins a run. So Jacob Young has a single and a double. The automatic double will keep K Ruiz at third. So now Cruz will bat with two RBS out there, two balls, two strikes, ground ball left side, Edwards throws across his body and a close play, but they got the nationals get three runs on four hits here in the fourth. What a job so far by Patrick Corbin. So two starts ago, he set a season high with eight K's and he's already got six Ks through four innings tonight. Got him make that seven cases for Patrick Corbin. Just have to tip your cap to a pitcher going, ok. Right now, he just has it for out toward right center. That one is going to get down and go off the wall to second base with a double. So he's been on base twice, a walk and now that two base hit and going from second to third is Fortes, but now there's two outs and Connor Norby is the batter only in his 13th game. We have to adjust that list. That's an RB I and it's to the gap in left center field cut off by Young and RB I double for Connor Norby. So another hit and this one goes for two. So he just keeps ranking up. That slug finds this one out to right. Dylan Cruz on the edge of the track. Has it. Marlins get on the board with a run on two hits. They leave a man in scoring position. Here is Ruiz. He's two for two tonight. AA run scored in the third, a single reached third in the fourth. This one in the to right Hensley back onto the track looking up, it's gone. Get three bullets for Kart Ruiz tonight. This one is 13th home run of the season and the Nats have patted their lead here in the sixth. He has a double. He has a single, he has his 13th homer and the Nationals have a 51 lead pitched around some trouble in the 2nd and 3rd innings. He's got some breathing room up by a four run lead. Bride out to left center field and that will get down. So a leadoff base hit for Jonah Bride Lopez goes too far and he strikeout victim number eight for Patrick Corbin tonight. And here's Christian Poche. The Marlins need a couple of bloops and a blast shoots this one out toward right center field. It pretty well and this one goes off the wall. Green light coming around. Third base throw comes home and Hensley's in there safely. RB I double for pace and it's 5 to 2 and he takes that one outside and the Marlins have two on and two out came to the mound in Corbin's last start and gave him a chance to get the last out in the sixth inning tonight. He'll go get his left hander with two outs in the sixth. So Patrick Corbin comes just one out shy of his third straight quality start, got him Jose Ferrer a big strikeout to strand two Marlins get one. They leave to a kitchen, stays out there for Miami and Luis Garc-a Junior will send a 16 hopper through the left side leadoff single for here. Top 8 to 1. And that is flown in the air to left field and that swing did have bad intentions but he got underneath it. ST makes the catch and there's one away where he gives up a hit a walk and Then there's a three run homer ground ball, second base. That's one quick turn safe at first, not going to get to the corner, not going to be trouble. And the inning is over Derick law with a 2.85 a this season and there's ball four Otto Lopez lines, one center field base hit Young cuts that one off and the Marlins will bring the tying run to the plate with one out. Here in the eighth inning. Here is Poche who slammed a double to the gap in right center field in his last trip to the plate. The second garcia, the back hand flip to Abrams on the first. The double play just like that. The inning is over nicely turned by the nationals. Perfect night for Jacob so far tonight and a leadoff walk drawn by Jacob on base four times tonight. See shortly groundball up the middle right to the second base bag but Lopez Bobbles it young will not stop. He'll go first to third on a ball that doesn't leave the infield and the Nats are threatening already here in the ninth Cruz off. Takes it for ball three. No throw, great speed out there for the Nets Young at third Cruz at second of their chance attacking on here. The ball can be put in play infield stays in for the DH tonight with the left side breaking for the plate. No play made at home. They'll get the out at first but a big insurance run and the Nats lead 62. The Nats who went six and 26 against the Marlins the last two years and looking to move to eight and o against the Fish this year got him. Robert garcia strikes out the side in the ninth and this game is over.
