Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals, summary of the game | July 6, 2018

The Marlins left a nine-point lead disappearing in a historically bad defeat a day earlier.

The defeat on Friday night hurt in a different way.

Kyle Barraclough, a close dominant leader, lost his place to Mark Reynolds at the bottom of the ninth inning, while the Marlins lost 3-2 to hosts Nationals.

The Marlins (36-54) lost their 13th in a row to the Nationals (44-43) scoring their worst series of losses against an opponent in the history of the franchise.

For Barraclough, who was named the June Underlain by the National League, he had a series of 20 2/3 setbacks before Monday's game against the Rays, his third loss of the season.

Reynolds led the ninth inning. Barraclough fell behind 3-0 in Reynolds' account and then went on strike. Reynolds then scored a 95.4 mph fastball from Barraclough and sent him 396 feet into the Marlins' enclosure in center left center.

"Kyle was so successful in counting and running his shots". "He's coming right behind and he does not want to walk around and it looks like [Reynolds] has one in his wheelhouse."

Needing a quality output from his starter after his paddock was taxed again in Thursday's Straily debacle delivered by launching a season-high 111 lengths in six innings.

Straily scored only one withdrawal, but only allowed two runs on five hits and three walks.

"[Getting deep into games] It's always the goal," Straily said. "The way the pen has been used the last two days drop, but every time you pick the ball you want to throw nine innings."

The Nationals nearly broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth when Wilmer Difo sent a bullet in the center-right field that would have scored Adam Eaton had landed. But Cameron Maybin followed him and made a spectacular dive to end the inning.

"Unreal," said Straily about taking. "I got upset for doubling the gap and he came and he caught her."

The Marlins managed the Miami Monsignor Pace alum Gio Gonzalez field count to 114 in five innings. Gonzalez gave eight hits and walked four, but pulled out four and limited the Marlins to just two points.

The Marlins clashed in three doubles games and the Nationals made another in the first inning when Gonzalez pulled out Realmuto and Brian Anderson was sent off in second place by receiver Spencer Kieboom.

The Marlins charged the bases to fourth Cameron Maybin founded in a double game. They charged them again in the fifth and scored a run when Gonzalez marched Martin Prado. Gonzalez then eliminated Justin Bour and Garrett Cooper, the last two batters he faced

"This is again the kind of game that gives us a chance to win and Dan leads the charge "Mattingly said. "We did a good job with Gio and we were not able to break through."

Drew Steckenrider carried his scoreless series of innings to 18 2/3, but he nearly broke him in the eighth when he walked Anthony Rendon and Bryce Harper and gave one to Matt Adams to open the framework. Steckenrider then allowed Adam Eaton to fly to the left and Cooper made a good pitch to keep the runner in third place. Wilmer Difo then emerged at the shortstop and Daniel Murphy came in.

Cooper played his first game since April 1 and went to 2 for 3, also making some tough shots in the left field. Having feet underfoot and finding themselves in this environment was a good thing, "said Cooper." The first ball in the first run was good for the removal. "
