Washington Gets 3-2 Win
The Washington Nationals picked up a win at Marlins Park, knocking off the Miami Marlins, 3-2. Starting pitcher Dustin May was a big reason why. Reliever Nate Jones picked up the win. His record improves to 5-3. Jordan Hicks took the loss. Kyle Crick earned his 27th save in 29 chances.

Washington used the timely hitting of Austin Barnes to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Nationals on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Credit where credit is due," said Barnes, "this was a team win."

With the win, Washington pushed its record to 59-57.
