Jose Fernandez improved to (6-0) in nine career starts vs the Washington Nationals and (21-1) in 31 career starts in Miami as the Marlins evened up the three-game set with their NL East rivals with a 3-2 win over the Nats. Joe Ross was solid through five, but a changeup down and in to Marlins' first baseman Justin Bour in the sixth ended up bouncing off the facade of the second deck in right as the Fish jumped out to a 3-1 lead. Nationals now 26-17.
