Miami has won seven of their last 11 games entering this contest as they earned a 5-3 victory Saturday afternoon to give themselves no worse than a split of the . The Marlins have had Washington's number, winning 10 of the 11 matchups between the teams this season, including the last five. If that wasn't enough, they have Pablo Lopez on the mound for this contest. Lopez has struggled a bit of late, allowing 13 runs (11 earned) over 17.1 innings in his last three starts. In his lone start against Washington this season, which came back on April 27, he threw six shutout frames, allowing three hits with one walk and six strikeouts in a 2-1 Marlins triumph. Washington is just 24th in runs per game (4.03) and they drop to 27th in runs per game at home (3.76) this season. Erick Fedde keeps them in it but Miami is rolling at the moment. The Marlins get Lopez on track and continue their mastery of the Nationals here.
