WASHINGTON (AP) --- Dylan Crews hit an RBI single with two out in the 10th
inning to give the Washington Nationals a 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on
Saturday.
Miami pitchers had set down 21 consecutive Nationals before Michael Petersen
(3-4) walked Jos Tena and Daylen Lile in the 10th inning to push automatic
runner Nasim Nuez to third. Crews then singled to the left of diving second
baseman Xavier Edwards to win it.
Orlando Ribalta (1-2) pitched a scoreless 10th for his first major league
victory in 70 career appearances.
Washington has won three in a row for the first time since Aug. 7-9.
Washington starter Cade Cavalli left the game after four hitless innings after
he was hit in the right ankle by a 93 mph grounder from Javier Sanoja. Cavalli
recovered to throw out Sanoja but limped back to the dugout. The team said the
right-hander had right calf discomfort.
Heriberto Hernndez hit his team-high 22nd home run for the Marlins, who have
dropped four of five to fall to 68-68.
The Nationals went ahead in the third against Sandy Alcantara when catcher Joe
Mack tried to underhand Crews' dribbler but tossed it past first baseman Kyle
Stowers allowing two runs to score. Crews later scored on Brady House's single,
and Jorbit Vivas followed with an RBI double to make it 4-0.
Miami had only one hit through 6 2/3 innings before Leo Jimnez's single.
Agustn Ramrez walked, and Stowers followed with a two-run double. Brad Lord
entered, and Hernndez hit his second pitch into the visitor's bullpen to tie
it.
Alcantara, who made his 198th start with the Marlins to pass Ricky Nolasco for
the franchise's career record, allowed four runs in six innings and struck out
three.
Cavalli struck out eight and walked three.

Alvarez (2-6, 3.72) on Sunday.
