and coghlan is wearing out the nat. 12 in the series. >> well, he gets ahead with the fastball. and throws a big breaking ball with too much at the plate and coghlan jumps all over that. that will get logan densing up and now you have. >> bob: nick johnson who you have to throw strikes to. >> rob: well, you have to have a game plan. we talked about this all year. if you don't come in with a game plan. of what you are going to attack the other team with. and pitch away from your strengths which is your curve ball. >> you will have days like this. 2-0. so now, hermida their. and volstad second. coghlan at first. they have all hit safely after the one out walk to cody ross. nick johnson will lift it out to center field. >> and marlins lead. and they almost got the witcher off the base. motionless and careless as he sauntered back to the bag. >> rob: a lot of it is the set up because he threw it into the cut off man. and gets told by the second baseman. they almost got him. and jeremy hermida had crossed home plate plaintif

coghlan did hit the cutoff man.u don't want to make the first out at home, but nobody out and the nats are brewing a big inning here and cristian guzman continues to be phenomenal with the bat. >> rob: he's a homer shy of the cycle now. it's a shot that one who has coghlan. this is the proper call right here by pat listach. he's got a good bead on nyjer. already has the ball at that point when he hits the bal bag. he would have been dead at home plate. pat listach did a great job of holding him up especially with no oaths outs. >> bob: and zimmerman coming up. then dunn. the nats continue to generate offense. the marlins have 10 hits tonight. last night, they had 11. they've only scored four runs each time. the nats have been very economical. six runs, eight hits last night. five runs, eight hits tonight. ryan zimmerman went oppo in the first inning. >> rob: when ryan zimmerman is going well, he's as good an opposite field hirlt as there in -- as there is in this league. right there he proved that this ballpark the

chris coghlan, two quick outs. marlins defensively are number 11 in the league. they've only made 67 errors this year. emilio bonifacio gets the call in center field. he's made 15 errors. it didn't work out very well for him at third base. cody ross, right field. cantu at third base and nick johnson at first. those two guys are pretty permanent thru thr now that nick has joined in ball club. cantu has played some first base when the nats have faced them. here is ryan zimmerman back in the lineup hitting .294 over his last 11 games, ryan is hitting .414. he's on another one of those hot streaks of his. he's up in the top 10 in rbi's in the league with those 70. that's offside, 2-0. >> rob: well, vandenhurk is only the fifth player since 1900 to play in major league baseball that is originally from the netherlands. the marlins broadcasters were telling me he was a nibbler. he tried to nibble the outside, inside. did not want to attack the strike zone until the wbc this year he met the pitching coach of the.netter lance, burt blyleven and blyleven has turned this ki

it is chris coghlan and the inning is over.t will be a base hit for nick, and then an alert play to get the runner who did not like yo, the bue epcall. (announcer) after four hours, the dangers of driver fatigue increase by 200%. but with attention assist, your new e-class can actually detect drowsy driving behavior... and warn you. this is the new e-class. this is mercedes-benz.  >> bob: welcome back to nationals park. the marlins 4-0. let's have a look at our mercedes benz. -class, our assist of the gym and it is all about nyjer morgan on the line drive by cantu earlier. >> rob: this is just a head's up play. he wasn't able to make the play in the air, but he gets the short hop and makes the perfect catch, the perfect read and he guns out the former nationals' player nick johnson. the bottom of the eighth. harris, gonzales and nieves. >> rob: and think you said it was his 12th assist of the season. >> bob: it was. the league leader in that department. he shows bunt and pulls the bat back. matt kevin of the dodgers has 1

chris coghlan. a compensation round pick.iple-a and with the marlins he is their lead-off guy with only a 3.43 on-base average. emilio bonifacio is hitting only .248 and the 1-1 for martin is right on the corner. the crew chief and 1616-year veteran. and adrian johnson, jim wolf. a swing and a foul and it just falls out of the glue of wil nieves. chris coghlan, 24 years of age from palm harbor, florida. he played at the university of mississippi, better known as ole miss and the count is 2-2. the marlins own the nats until the washington nationals do something about it. a record of 9-0 this year. so nick johnson has been on both sides of this thing now if the nats beat the marlins, nick johnson will be the only guy who is oh-fer 10 in this series. so it is about time the nats took care of florida. they joe them after the late inning bullpen collapses the second weekend of the season where the marlins came in here and swept. marlins misses up high. at home the nats are 20-33. on the road, the marlins are 26- 24. that ball is r

chris coghlan, big game number one. a triple run scored.its in the game for himleading the way for the florida marlins lineup out of left field. he'll bat first. nick johnson,' very -- a very familiar name batting second at first. hanley ramirez is in the shortstop position batting third. jorge cantu cleanup. dan uggla sat second base. cody ross is the right fielder. ronny paulino gets the call at catching. emilio bonifacio, the former national, the center fielder and rick vandenhurk is the starter for the florida marlins. adam dunn with three homers and 10 rbi's this season against the florida marlins. something the two-run shot yesterday for the game winner. he'll be in the lineup again tonight for washington. nyjer morgan leads off at center field. cristian guzman is the shortstop batting second. ryan zimmerman is at third base again back in the lineup after a one-game absence. adam dunn, there he is, in the cleanup spot. josh willingham is in left field. elijah dukes, the right fielder. ronnie belliard the start at second tonight had a

after the easy out, coghlan bouncing out to belliard. top of the third under way.nd the nats on top 2-1. both pitchers are pitching inside and that's a good thing. fieldin culbreth has established an inside korver corner oriented strike zone tonight.   under jim riggleman, nation have now won 9-20. almost five runs a game. almost .270. 20 home runs in 20 games and the e.r.a. is about .8 lower than the season e.r.a. is at 5.04. definite improvement, rob dibble. >> rob: yes, definite improvement. they've still had games where the errors have hurt them. >> bob: that is your definition of a slow roller. guzman gets nick johnson. >> rob: as long as you have the effort on a team that they know at this point they're not going to the playoffs. i think they're working harder now than maybe two months ago. i think mike rizzo has done a wonderful job trying to get together enough talent to be competitive in these ballgames and now coming down the stretch in the last 60, you become the spoiler. the one thing that i liked about this team a couple yea

chris coghlan comes in to score and johnson gets himself an rbi single. marlins take a 1-0 lead.eight now, we are tied at 4. adam dun at the plate with a man on. and adam dunn knows how to use the bat, i believe. drives one high and deep to left. that's gone. 28th home run of the season. that capped a six-run inning for the nationals. they go on to win 6-4. nationals and marlins again tonight. john lannan is on the mound. and, of course, he has been the best pitcher by far for the nationals this season and i believe my producer just told me he's not in the line-up. the rookie who spent 12 years in the minors. maybe he'll get a chance to pinch hit. >> exactly. maybe he sees a light at the end of the tunnel p possibly. >> can you imagine how cool it is. >> you've been waiting. and the key, i think, is the consistency and determinings to hang in there. >> batting 360. that will do it from redskins park injury. the story out here. everyone needs to heal. maybe some rest. >> when we come back, we'll tell you about a kidney transplant that was anything but normal. >> and wll hear what
