Marlins vs Nationals Betting Outlook
Jesus Aguilar hit a two-run home run in the first inning Saturday to start the Marlins on their way to victory.
Aguilar finished with two his and two RBIs, helping the Marlins overcome a four-error performance.
Rojas was back in the Marlins’ lineup at shortstop after leaving Friday’s game when he collided with third baseman Brian Anderson while trying to field a grounder. Rojas went 1 for 2 with a double and walk.
Juan Soto hit a solo home run for the Nationals and Lane Thomas had two hits.
Robles started and went 1 for 2. The fan friendly center fielder exited Friday with a bruised left shin.
The Marlins are now 10-1 against the Nationals this season, including 5-0 in Washington. However, the Nationals held a 103-59 advantage in the series over a nine-year span from 2013-21.
