MIAMI — Pablo Lopez, who is in the midst of one of the best starts to a season ever by a Marlins starting pitcher, wasn’t anywhere near himself on Wednesday night.
The Marlins, however, picked up their starter after his rare struggles led by a resilient effort from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who homered, tripled and drove in the tying run in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly that nearly wasn’t.
All of that was still not enough, however, to allow the Marlins to complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Washington Nationals as they fell, 5-4, in 10 innings at loanDepot Park.
