MIAMI - Good morning from Marlins Park, where everyone is making a quick turnaround from last night's game, with a 12:10 p.m. matinee on hand this afternoon. It's only two hours to gametime, and the Nationals are only now just arriving at the park, with no batting practice planned. It's "show-and-go," as the kids say.

The Nationals will have Anthony Rendon back in the lineup after the third baseman missed 1 1/2 games with a neck stinger. That's obviously positive news, given the uncertain nature of that injury. The hot-hitting Stephen Drew, though, does get to continue starting, this time at second base while Daniel Murphy gets a day off. Ryan Zimmerman and Matt Wieters also get the day off, with Adam Lind and Jose Lobaton starting in their respective places.

Max Scherzer, meanwhile, takes the mound looking to continue his dominant run. He faces a good test in a Marlins lineup that has home run potential from a whole bunch of guys.
