Game 54 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins

With Sunday's 9-6 win over the Miami Marlins, the Nationals have an opportunity for their first four-game series sweep of the season and their first four-game series winner since May 10-13, 2018 at Arizona. The last four-game sweep at home was April 30-May 3, 2018 over the Pirates.

The last time the Nats swept a four-game set versus a divisional opponent was April 11-14, 2016 over the Braves.

Outfielder Juan Soto continued his hitting run with another single in the ninth inning Sunday. His 10-game hit streak matches a career high. He had 10-game hit streaks twice in 2018: June 17-26 and September 5-16. Soto has hit .474 (18-for-38) with five doubles, two homers, 11 RBIs, five walks and eight runs scored in these last 10 games.

Utility man Howie Kendrick now has eight homers in 136 plate appearances this season. He is hitting .387 with runners in scoring position, which ranks in the top 15 in the National League. His three hits Sunday matched a season high from May 1 against the Cardinals.

With a double and a single on Sunday, outfielder Adam Eaton leads the Nats with 58 base hits this season. He is hitting .328 (19-for-58) against left-handers this season. Second baseman Brian Dozier is batting .314 (11-for-35) with three doubles, two homers and eight RBIs in his last 10 games. Third baseman Anthony Rendon singled in the first inning to extend his streak of reaching base to 13 games. In that span he has hit .375 (18-for-48) with six doubles, a triple, four homers and 12 RBIs.

Today's series finale features right-hander Max Scherzer (2-5, 3.41 ERA) against right-hander Jose Ureña (2-6, 4.30). Scherzer's 12 wins against the Marlins are the second most he has against any opponent.
