					| Marlins Drop Nationals, 6-2 |  
					| The Miami Marlins got a stellar effort from pitcher Sean Geer, helping Miami score a win over the visiting Washington Nationals, 6-2. At 55-67, the Marlins claim third place in the National League East Division. 
 In the bottom of the first, Miami right fielder Jimmy Groseclose had a productive at-bat. With  the bases loaded and no one out, Groseclose stroked a 2-run  single to center. It made the score 2-1, Miami. For the game, he was 1-4, while adding 2 RBI.
 
 "We'll put that win in the can," said Groseclose, "and go after the next one."
