The Washington Nationals may have just had the nightmare weekend that sealed their fate for the season, getting swept by the Miami Marlins with all three losses by two runs or fewer. Their 11-9 defeat on Friday is the most runs they've scored in a loss in 2025.
Janson Junk (1-0) worked 5 2/3 scoreless innings of relief in a bullpen game, allowing two hits and striking out four. Faucher earned his seventh save.
Miami managed only a run on Liam Hicks’ third-inning RBI single in the first five innings against Washington starter Trevor Williams (3-8). Hicks and Otto Lopez opened the sixth with singles, and two batters later Eric Wagaman poked a single to right off reliever Brad Lord to give the Marlins a 2-1 lead.
That loud thud you heard Sunday in D.C. was the Washington Nationals being swept at home by the last-place Miami Marlins.
