Miami Marlins Game Recap: Bryce Harper Homers Nats Past Marlins

B. Stats: 1/4, HR (7), 2 SO, 3 RBI <p>Max Scherzer got the best of Giancarlo Stanton much of the night. Perhaps Scherzer was left in the game too long, as Stanton finally came through with a huge 3-run home run. Stanton came into the game with more home runs than Harper, homered in the game, yet left the game with less than Harper. Stanton struck out with the tying runs on base in the 9th. </p>. RF. Miami Marlins. GIANCARLO STANTON

Miami Marlins. DEE GORDON. B. Stats: 3/5, SO <p>One of the bright spots in the game for the Miami Marlins was Dee Gordon increasing his hitting streak to 11 straight games. Mans still on fire now, getting two hits off of Scherzer today. Another day, another 3-hit performance for Dee.</p>. 2B

B. Stats: 2/4, 2 SO <p>Realmuto hit a double in the middle of the Marlins 2-run rally in the 2nd inning, but struck out in his two other at bats against Scherzer. Realmuto has shown promise with his bat so far, but has yet to put it together. He should soon.</p>. C. Miami Marlins. J.T. REALMUTO

A+++. Stats: 3/4, 3 HR (8), 5 RBI <p>Have yourself a day, Bryce Harper. Not one, not two, but three home runs for the 22-year old. I love watching Harper play, usually, but watching him on Wednesday hurting the Marlins wasn’t ideal.</p>. RF. Miami Marlins. BRYCE HARPER
