Washington Nationals defeat Miami Marlins 9-2

The Washington Nationals defeated the Miami Marlins 9-2 in the opening game of their road series. The loss was highlighted by a difficult outing for Marlins starter Eury Pérez, who struggled through three innings, allowing five runs on two hits while issuing four walks.

This performance marks a rare off night for Pérez, who has recently been a consistent part of the Marlins' rotation following his return from injury. The Marlins, managed by Clayton McCullough, are currently navigating rotation challenges due to the ongoing absence of Max Meyer.
