  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Washington Nationals (76-56) 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 9 0
Miami Marlins (58-73) 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 5 X 9 12 0
Marlins Come Back Late to Top Nationals, 9-4
The Miami Marlins topped the Washington Nationals, 9-4, the lion's share of the credit going to third baseman Edgardo Franco. On the day, Franco went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Marlins. Miami is last in the National League East Division with a record of 58-73.

Had Sergio Alcantara not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Alcantara hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Marlins.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Alcantara.
