Comment on Marlins' bullpen unravels in 6-4 loss to Nationals

Marlins' bullpen unravels in 6-4 loss to Nationals

[...] it's not a good practice anywhere. After Justin Boar broke up a pitchers' duel with a seventh-inning home run, the Nationals pulled even in the bottom half. A leadoff walk and a home run by Ian Desmond tied it, and with two outs the Nationals used three straight hits to take the lead for the first time. Pinch-hitter Tyler Moore singled, Denard Span doubled and Yunel Escobar drove in two runs with a single to right — his career-high fifth hit of the game. Tanner Roark worked the ninth for his first career save, sealing Washington's sixth victory in seven games following a six-game skid. In the bottom half, Phelps was pulled after issuing a one-out walk to pinch-hitter Clint Robinson, who scored on Jayson Werth's two-out RBI single off Sam Dyson. Miami got an unearned run in the first inning when Werth dropped a fly ball and Marcell Ozuna followed with an RBI single. In the third inning, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria made a diving stop in the hole and threw to second base from a sitting position to get a force out.
