The Nationals took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the ninth, but Hanley Ramirez homered off John Rauch to tie the game. Rauch stayed in the pitch the bottom of the tenth with the scored still tied at five, and Josh Willingham led off with his second home run of the game, good for a 6-5 Marlins win. Rauch allowed just two home runs in 41 1/3 innings entering the game.

With three homers tonight, the Marlins still lead the majors with 119 on the year.
