The Marlins offense hibernated through much of Wednesday night game and their bullpen allowed the Nationals to pile on in a 7-5 loss Dan Straily T-Shirt.Patrick Corbin: 7.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K on 100 pitchesZac Gallen: 5.0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 8 K on 91 pitchesThe rookie right-hander Gallen was making his first career start in Marlins Park, and for five innings, he looked incredible. He racked up 15 swinging strikes, including six on his cutter. A dangerous Nats lineup failed to get any extra-base hits against the 23-year-old.Your browser does not support HTML5 video.In the bottom of the third, Gallen helped his own cause with a line drive single to center, then came home on Harold Ramírez RBI single. For the fifth time in the last six games James Nelson T-Shirt, the Marlins scored first.However, Washington greeted Gallen rudely in the top of the sixth—his third time through the lineup—with three consecutive hits, including an Anthony Rendon single which tied things up at 1-1 J.T. Realmuto T-Shirt. Don Mattingly yanked him there in favor of Wei-Yin Chen. Despite the bloated earned run average, Chen had quietly performed very well in May and June (albeit mostly in low-leverage situations) Edward Cabrera T-Shirt. First baseman Matt Adams has historically struggled against left-handed pitching (.211/.242/.364 in 414 PA), so you can understand why Mattingly liked the matchup.It didn go according to plan:Your browser does not support HTML5 video.(Two of the runners who scored on Adams’ homer were inherited from Gallen, distorting his final line.)The Nats added three more runs of insurance in the ninth against Tayron Guerrero. He has the unfortunate distinction of being the first pitcher in Marlins history to issue four walks and a hit by pitch without completing a full inning of work.Of course, no lead is totally safe in the hands of Washington bullpen. A Marlins rally pressured Davey Martinez to bring in his closer, Sean Doolittle. That insurance proved to be huge because Curtis Granderson ripped a three-run, bases-clearing triple to make it 7-5.Your browser does not support HTML5 video.Doolittle whiffed JT Riddle to put the fire out.Thursday series finale features starters Stephen Strasburg and Sandy Alcantara https://www.marlinsteeshop.com/Jt_Realmuto_T_shirt. As an interesting wrinkle, both of them have borderline All-Star cases; the outcome of this particular game could go a long way toward determining whether either one squeezes onto the NL roster.
