Miami Marlins 4, Washington Nationals 2, on August 22, 2026, at loanDepot park. Miami’s offense produced seven hits and used two home runs to account for all four of its RBI, supplying enough support in a game shaped primarily by run prevention. Marlins pitching held Washington to three hits and one earned run while recording six strikeouts, limiting a Nationals lineup that entered with a .755 OPS and .431 slugging percentage. Washington drew three walks but failed to convert those opportunities into sustained offense, finishing without a home run and with only one RBI despite scoring twice. Miami’s lineup struck out six times and walked twice, yet its power made the difference against a Washington staff that allowed four earned runs and carried a 4.67 ERA. The Nationals also recorded six strikeouts, but seven hits allowed created more scoring pressure than Miami faced. A Marlins error did not prove costly, while Washington’s inability to generate extra-base damage reinforced the pitching-dominance trend. Miami will look to carry that run prevention into its next turn through the rotation.
