The Washington Nationals defeated the Miami Marlins 4-1 on September 14, powered by home runs from Jose Tena, Joey Gallo, and Juan Yepez, marking their seventh game this season with three or more home runs. Starting pitcher Patrick Corbin excelled, allowing only one run on three hits over six innings, and has now won four of his last five starts. The victory improves Washington's record against Miami to 10-2 this season. Otto Lopez scored the only run for the Marlins with a solo home run, but the team has struggled lately, losing five of their last six games. This win follows another 4-1 victory over the Marlins the previous night, where Luis García Jr. also hit a home run. The Nationals' recent offensive surge contrasts with their overall season performance, where they have struggled with power hitting.
