The Nationals take the rubber game in their opening series with the Marlins, winning by a 5-4 score. The Nats get 2 hit games from 5 different batters, and I'm thinking that this year's team isn't going to be terrible. Of course, the pitching may prove me wrong over the course of the season. After staking out to a 5-1 lead, Levale Speigner tried hard to give the game away until the back end of the bullpen got into the action. Chad Cordero closes it out for his first save of the year.
