Lannan, Orr lead Nats past Marlins in rain-shortened game
In a game that featured two rain delays, John Lannan went five strong innings allowing only one run.
Lannan would have gone out for the sixth had it not been for a long delay in the top half of the inning.
The Nationals scored seven times to support Lannan and pounded out 11 hits to beat Florida 7-2.
Pete Orr, filling in for third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning to help the Nats build a 5-1 lead for Lannan.
Marlins pitcher Chris Volstad was knocked out by Washington after the third inning.
He gave up five runs, four of which were earned.
Washington has an off day on Monday, before opening up a three game series Tuesday, in Philadelphia, with Garrett Mock on the mound.
