There was good news and bad news for Washington starter Patrick Corbin on Sunday. He lasted six innings, giving up no extra-base hits and only two walks. On the debit side, he allowed 11 (!) singles, which produced the only four runs that the visitors would need. Lane Thomas briefly brought the Nats even with a two-run homer in the bottom of the third, but Miami got those runs back the next half-inning. Aside from the Thomas blast, Washington never got a runner into scoring position with fewer than two outs until the bottom of the 9th, although they did manage 8 hits against Miami starter Jesús Luzardo and a trio of relievers.

 

On the bright side, Cory Abbott kept the visitors off the board during the final three frames, saving the rest of the Washington bullpen.

 

The weather was perfect, and as usual we were in the shade for most of the game, after a pregame lunch at Cava. The only sour note was a couple members of our crew arriving a few minutes late to take advantage of Signature Sunday.
