Nick note
After going 1-8 in the last two games of the series with Florida, Nick Markakis has three hits tonight.
He is 3 for 4 with three singles. He entered this game batting .339 over his last 16 games and he now has nine multi-hit games over his past 16 games.
This is his fourth, three-hit game of the season and first since May 1st vs. Boston.
And Jim Riggleman has not made a pitching change in the last five minutes. Let's keep it that way.
The Nats, who lead 6-3 in the seventh, had scored eight runs total over the last six games coming into this series. They were batting just .217 as a team and scoring 2.7 runs per game over their previous dozen games.
The Nats are 4-17 over their last 21 road games but maintain the three-run lead right now.
