Left calf tightness forced Soto out of the game and to an MRI exam, and the Nationals surged twice before falling to the Marlins in 10 innings.
But then along came Victor Robles, who wasn’t quite cool with Sánchez’s two-strike, two-out, two-run, second-deck, ninth-inning homer defining the afternoon. And then came extras, the final separation point, with the Marlins scoring three off Nationals reliever Carl Edwards Jr. in the 10th.win over Washington . That’s how the Nationals lost their fourth straight and dropped to 1-11 against a team they used to knock around. That’s how they limped into the halfway point of a dismal season.
“He went up there and hit, and he said it was fine,” Manager Dave Martinez recounted, pointing to how Soto batted in the fourth inning after stretching his calf a bit in right field. “And all of a sudden he ran and came back and said it was tightening up on him.”“Oh, yeah, it’s terrifying, obviously,” he said. “So you know, fingers crossed that it’s not anything too, too time-consuming. We’ll see. I know he’s probably going to get the results back here soon.
Soto seemed to aggravate his calf while chasing down Bryan De La Cruz’s double off starter Erick Fedde in the third. An inning later, after his second walk, Soto was caught in a rundown and tried to dodge catcher Jacob Stallings’s tag between third and home. That was his final act of the contest. Lane Thomas replaced him in right field for the top of the fifth.López was dominant until Bell cracked him with a double and Nelson Cruz followed with an RBI single.
“Not miss down and in,” the 29-year-old said of the pitch to Sánchez. “Lefty, he’s hunting fastballs middle-in, looking to do damage, and I missed the spot that he could do it. Actually not that upset about the homer — obviously don’t want to give it up there — but it’s the walk. The walk makes it a two-run homer instead of a solo shot, and if it is a solo shot, we come back bottom nine, we walk it off, and it’s over.”Fedde held the Marlins to two runs in six innings, throwing 106 pitches.
Also on the IL are Stephen Strasburg , Joe Ross , Sean Doolittle , Hunter Harvey , Will Harris , Seth Romero and Aníbal Sánchez, who has a nerve impingement in his neck and made a second start for Rochester on Sunday night.
