Nats’ comeback dumps Marlins
The Nationals are starting to make come-from-behind victories a habit.
Ryan Zimmerman finished a double short of the cycle, and Ronnie Belliard’s tiebreaking single in the eighth inning helped Washington rally from a six-run deficit and beat the Florida Marlins 12-8 Thursday.
The Nationals broke an 8-8 tie with four runs in the eighth, completing a series sweep and winning their season-best fifth straight game. Jorge Sosa (1-0) got out of an eighth-inning jam and pitched the ninth to earn the win.
Washington also scored six runs in the eighth inning for a 6-4 victory on Tuesday, and have come from behind for 20 of its major-league low 37 wins.
