					| Nationals Lose to Marlins, 3-1 |  
					| Behind an impressive start by Matt Payne, Miami beat Washington, 3-1. The winning pitcher was Payne, now 5-7. He tossed 6.1 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 4. John Dinsmore got the save, his 19th in 25 chances. 
 Miami relied on the bat of Jimmy Groseclose to get the win. The right fielder ripped a 2-run  double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Marlins ahead, 2-0. For the game, Groseclose had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.
 
 "At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Miami skipper Mike Scott.
