s if shop, beautiful view of downtown miami on a saturday night here in south florida i knowny and ray here with verizon john will chat with our studio hosts the nats defense and by the way it's develop errors not three the play back in the third inning, they've given him a base hit we don't have problem with that >> i don't have a problem with that he never got leather on that >> he got mud but not leather he works against dan leading off the bottom of the eighth shaun has pitched in eight

games prior to tonight the grounds crew turned the infield into a swamp before the game he should have had different shoes on >> he had skates on essentially >> somebody from the university of florida decided they wanted another swamp in the state tonight >> the duck wanted system kentucky derby conditions 3-1 pitch >> did you pick any horse >> i watched for the pure sport of it >> ', god come on >> after sea biscuit, that was it for me who else could

perform on that level ever again? love the movie and the book love the horse. 3-2. good catch here by shaun bennett >> come on, don't be upset 0-3 with a walk next up, baker and then ross gonzalez will go to atlanta because it's a nightmare from many people and i prayed here so i know a lot of methamphetamine that work around here in the front office that he's a nightmare to try to manage and put up with his

attitude a lot of them these other players >> right off the end of the bat with a back hand very nicely done for the second out >> i respect freddy gonzalez >> they haven't been given budgets often which to work with gonzalez won 84 games two years ago with a 21 million- dollar payroll >> nice play by christian going across his body, well done freddy is next marlins need an adam dunn kind

of guy i think he needs it all of these players grown up together they are all about the same age and have done nothing >> they have not won any championships >> had some nice seasons though >> got to win championships though that's what you're paid for >> they also have one of the best young pitching staffs in baseball that means nothing, got to win freddy gonzalez, anal of 46, ninth manager of the history of the marlins the last four as third base coach jeffrey the owner

he's not a manager, he's a ceo >> joe a couple years in new york, won his first world championship last year >> despite the start of tampa bay, still the best team in baseball the team to beat the phillies are still the team to beat mt. national league t. some of these guys are walking around like they are the yankees you've seen it here for the last few years got to get the right people in here >> we'll see if the mar lens who are two years away from the new stadium, you cannot emphasize enough how crucial the 2012 season will be for

this organization ball hit the mound shaun bennett gets three ground balls in the inning nats need a huge night

top of the ninth, nationals

down by 6. washington ford dealers bring you the came mr. caravan cantu ramirez would come up later and hit a two-run johnson chris try to pitch the second game of his major league career morgan is 0-4 almost put a stop to the nats give him a chance cogo autoway here threw 8, # 9 pitches -- 99 pitches one complete game in his career last year here's kennedy who's 0-3 tom two hitters in the lineup, 0-7 tonight zimmerman and dunn each

have a hit, that is it he didn't stick around a lot last year, 29 starts, 159 innings pitched last year right at 5 innings >> 29 home runs, very hittable 159 innings, 100 runs >> looking good tonight >> looks like walter johnson tonight >> he's the tall train at 6 feat 8 that's going to slice ball fair kennedy to seconds that's a there's the play he's out

one of those nights he comes up, throwing, firing a perfect strike looks like he came around not thinking they could get to that, coghlan was all over that one of those nights rough patch >> yeah leap fast, get ready for the josh johnson express tomorrow zimmerman, 1-3, right in there

zimmerman rams a breaking ball to deep center that ball is off the wall >> run baby right to second >> so the kennedy base running mistake maybe costing the natings a run in -- maybe costing the nats a run >> gorgeous swing just crushes a breaking ball cameron may have been -- i don't know what he's doing there it's a double adam dunn come on dunn, make it

a bad night for him >> he's thrown as many as 117 pitches this year that's only going two outs into a 7th inning >> give him a finish here. couple of home runs leave a bad taste in your mouth they don't have the shift on, but coghlan is playing a short left field there's the almost shift there you see coghlan is way out there somewhere don't hit it at me i've had a bad night i'm 0-3 and killing the nationals 2-21

marlins are one strike away from the 500 mark at least the pitchers aren't as bad as up in baltimore, nine home runs given up >> game over and in two hours and 33 minutes, chris pitches the second complete game of his major league career he gets 8 strike outs and stops the nats on two hits marlins win it big back to south florida in a hospital

for every ant or roach you see in your home, there are hundreds more you can't. the solution? try combat source kill max baits. while aerosols only kill the bugs you spray, combat baits target the source of the problem. ants and roaches take the bait; carry it back to the nest and share it. the result? you destroy not just one, but the entire infestation. if you have unwelcome ants or roaches, try combat source kill max. also look for new combat liquid ant baits. brand power. helping you buy better.

ending a #-win winning streak marlins back at 500 >> you're not going to play every game great tonight was ugly it was a ugly ball game from start to finish >> couldn't get on track tonight we'll talk about that and break down the pitching and hitting when we come back here's bob and rob. >> thank you, gentlemen marlins shut down fireworks during the game and they beat 9 nats winning them 7-1 join us sunday, nats and marlins rubber game of the series we'll get you going 12:30 this has been a presentation of masn stay tuned coming up in moments

brought to you by verizon, not the way to start the month of may pitching wasn't there, hitting wasn't there spelled 7- 1 florida win yeah, he had some strange sequences, repeated fast balls at a time, threw changeups back to back to back, threw sliders, three or four

sequences early, but an awful lot of breaking balls, curve balls, and changeups, as many offpitchers as he threw >> defining moment came in the fourth inning tonight 1-1 ball game ross triples >> yeah, he tripled to the right field line, baker scores, he singled after seeing six fast balls in a row gabby sanchez, ross scores, aaron throws, this ball is 20 feet off line that's where the cut off should be adams is looking toward third, could have cut the ball there he gets him, terrible alignment there for them >> momentarily stayed in the ball game there's the line score nationals get only 4 hits

in the ball game kennedy had the single and thrown out trying to technical it into a trouble they talk one error away marlins banging on 7 hits he gettings the win, goes the assistance. 1-1 zimmerman goes 2-2 ballstead gets his first win since last july so pretty good job >> well, he kept the ball down all night long kept the hitters off balance our offense didn't seem to have it going tonight anybody in the big leagues can shut you down 24 guy shout us town we with respect able to sustain an offense, but the whole thing was basically the fact we weren't able to make

plays and falling down, aaron and advancing on bad plays, but listen, this team has played great it's won ball game if you think they are going to flay great every night, you're crazy he'll turn the page tomorrow night >> speaking of it, let's go back to south florida jim, thanks for your time this is one of those fights he had two good quality starts, but tonight couldn't get into a rhythm >> really couldn't just in general wasn't our night you hate to pressure it off like that, but wi didn't play a good ball game you know, it's the major league if you're not at the top of your game, they are going to get you >> a lot of times they threw four or five fast ball ins a

row, especially top ross it didn't look like he was mixing up his pitches as much as he has in the past did you notice that at all? >> yeah steve was talking about it a little bit in the dugout you know, we didn't get in the rite the sometimes the ball, certain pitches aren't feeling goods in your hands, so that allowed other club to set on pitches freshmen, we didn't play god mind him, but you know you always get a great effort from craig in fife days >> let you go with one final comment nationals have already won four series this year just regroup and get them tomorrow >> that's what we are going to do they go hard every night they are mistakes of greg and hoping we get up to the challenge tomorrow >> thanks so much for your time

good luck tomorrow >> jim down in south florida we saw good defense tonight nobody has tried to steal against rodriquez tonight he got the first one, then some questionable defense >> he ran a great pick there only two times he tried to go great play again day in and day out going away from the play he's throwing the ball too enough on it to make a great play another diving play throwing that underhanded he takes a hit or two away every ball game >> he does >> then some bat i've seen people throwing, that's like a rainy day and packing it, so -- yeah, and adam lost the ball there probably a part of a new

glove this play was crazy here all the time in the world no way that runner is going to tag up our alignment wasn't god at that play he ended up throwing it 20 feet off the bag i'm not sure what we're doing this i guess they thought they had him, but he threw the ball away when it's not going right it all seems to blow up things have gone so welt for this ball club that you hate to sigh it, but they were due for a night like this >> some of the fundamentallings that were so found this season were not there tonight so you go back to mar 13-11 talk about craig when we come back and show you some of the issue process he had tonight nationals lose by a score of 7- 1 northeast scores given up since colorado [ laughs ]

nationals lose tonight to marlins, couple of games coming up one more in florida atlanta braves come to town tuesday and wednesday and thursday and florida comes back up for their first trip for a weekend set next weekend at nationals park craig tonight could not get ray past that 5th inning it's the second shortest outing of the season for craig >> yeah, he was a real pitch efficient for tonight that's 91, but the pitcher leer middle of the play loops the ball to right field then after two outs, goes to the wall, sitting them looking at it, ends up with a double, scores first, tribal to center field as he seelingsed down in that inning

fourth inning strikes out and he singles on the sixth straight then you single out sixth straight fast ball he singles there triples on the fourth then once you've seen that many sliders somebody is going to end up hitting it hard morgans throws here you'll see the man way over to the right not close to being in the direct line nobody to cover fudge hustling all the way got injured somehow there i don't know if it was his knee or thigh but fifth inning he doubles to left field goes to third on a crazy pick off play then after that he's out of the ball game >> there he is, takes the

baseball from him 79 pitches, 59 strikes, walk two, struck out 2000, gives out three, 7 hits in his outing of 4 innings tonight nationals had two opportunities, once in the second they get their only run of the night, then they had a chance in the 9th inning look at second once again >> doing it like they've done all year two outstanding pieces of hitting after a sinker in, curve ball for a strike sinker for a strike fast ball for app ball another sinker for a ball, comes back with a sinker in trying to go to right field goes to right field to get him to third base giving himself up, advancing the runner for rodriquez to go to right field we manufactured a run early the way we've played all year that

was it until the 9th inning when kennedy got the double and thrown out >> there you see the numbers, zimmerman goes 2-4 in the 9th inning kennedy's hit came in the 9th inning tries top technical it, me shot >> i'm not sure what happened in this play. looked like he was thinking 245 ball was going to get down in the corner this is a great play by the left fielder you're 6 runs behind not a very smart pray >> not at all 7-1 the final there zimmerman with that big double >> i figured it out, 1620 feet he's hit the pal in miami >> a lot of feet he's nailing

the ball >> in that ball mark and florida wins it what's up with steven? well interesting news on the right happenedder from harrisburg when we come back also from morgan
