Nationals start quick, rally late, still lose

The Nationals scored in the first three innings en route to an early 2-0 lead, but gave up a 4 run 3rd inning and a run each in the 4th and 5th to fall behind 6-3. The Nats scored a run in the 7th and 8th innings to close it to 6-5, but gave up three runs in the 9th, and the Nationals woes continued, and Talvarez failed to be the first National to win two games.

Vela, Figuero, and McMillian each had two hits for the nationals. Castro lead the Marlins with 3 hits, while Hensley had two hits, 3 runs, and 2 RBI's. Carr performed better in the bullpen then he had as a starter, giving up only 1 run in 4.2 innings in relief.

Next the Nationals face the 8-8 Cardinals, the Nats sit at a dismal 5-11. The Nationals pitch Song in his 2nd start, the Cardinals pitch Jesus Rivera, who is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA.
