    For eight innings, the script against the Washington Nationals was all too familiar for Ozzie Guillen and the Miami Marlins. In the ninth, they attempted to homer their way into a re-write before an extra-inning throwing error left them with an unhappy ending.

    One day after being shutout in a two-run loss, the Marlins failed to score over eight innings against Stephen Strasburg and two Nationals relievers. Left fielder Logan Morrison's two-run homer in the ninth inning changed their fortune but first baseman Gaby Sanchez's errant throw to second base in the 10th set up Ian Desmond's game-winning sacrifice fly as the Washington Nationals won 3-2 on Saturday.
