WASHINGTON -- After missing an opportunity to gain ground Saturday on the Phillies and Braves, the Nationals will look to bounce back and take the rubber game of their series against the last-place Miami Marlins.

On Saturday when the Braves blew a 3-0 lead in the ninth and lost, and the Phillies were shut down by Jacob deGrom, Washington (62-62) had a chance to pick up a game on both. But despite rallying from a 4-2 deficit in the seventh and 5-4 in the ninth, they fell 7-5 in 10 innings to remain seven games behind Atlanta.

"I think to fight to get back in the game is pretty hard, and then you do it two or three times in a game and then not be able to come out victorious I think is definitely disappointing a little bit," shortstop Trea Turner told MASN.com after Washington's mini winning streak was stopped at two games.
