Marlins Look to Return to the Win Column as they face the Nats

1

The Marlins look to return to the win column when they face the Nationals for the second time in this series in Washington. First pitch is set at 1:05 ET at Nationals Park.

This game will definitively be a pitchers game. With two very good pitchers, who are going to start for each side. For the Marlins, Anibal Sanchez will be the starting pitcher. In his last outing, he struck out 7 but ended up getting the no-decision. The Nationals will go with the RHP Stephen Strasburg. He was very solid in his last start which was against the Houston Astros, he lasted 6 innings, allowed two runs on six hits, struck out five hitters and walked one.

In the last 5 years, Anibal Sanchez is 5-0 with an ERA of  1.92 and with 75 strike outs against the Nationals. While Strasburg is 2-1 with an ERA of 2.82 and with 24 strike outs in his career against the Marlins.
