					| Marlins Sink Nationals, 3-1 |  
					| Miami and Washington duked it out and the Marlins came out victorious. 
 Timóteo Metzener pitched a gem to lead Miami to victory over the Washington Nationals, 3-1. The third-place Marlins improved to 56-68.
 
 The game was on the line with two out in the top of the seventh inning, but Adam Thomas didn't flinch. With the bases loaded and Washington trailing 1-0, Thomas retired Alexis Cantu to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Thomas, with a wink.
