After scoring 33 runs and hitting .348 in a five-game span between July 11 and July 19, the Marlins have tallied only 17 runs in their last seven contests, hitting .221. In losing three games at San Diego between Friday and Sunday, Miami went 2-for-21 (.095) with runners in scoring position.

In the month of July, both the Nationals and Marlins have scored two of fewer runs 10 times, tied with the Braves and Padres for the most such games among NL clubs this month.

The Nats have allowed 35 first-inning runs in 2015, tied with the Giants for the fewest among NL teams. Washington's plus-25 first-inning run differential is tops in the NL, and third among all teams (trailing the Royals and Yankees).

Bryce Harper's .330 average in 2015 is the highest among the eight MLB players who have hit at least 25 home runs. Conversely, Ian Desmond's .222 mark is the second lowest among the 49 National Leaguers who have connected for 10 or more homers (Jimmy Rollins - .212). Desmond is hitting .478 (11-for-23) during his current seven-game hitting streak, with four home runs, seven RBI and eight runs scored.

Through games of June 10, Christian Yelich had an on-base percentage of .278, ranking 235th among MLB players who had at least 100 plate appearances to that point. Beginning on June 11, Yelich has reached base at a .414 clip, ranking eighth in MLB in on-base percentage since that date (using the same minimum of 100 plate appearances).

Jose Fernandez is 14-0 at home in his major league career, but he does have two home defeats on his minor league ledger -- including one in 2015. Pitching for the Marlins' Double-A Jacksonville affiliate on June 27 (during a rehab assignment), Fernandez dropped a 4-1 decision to visiting Biloxi, allowing four earned runs in five innings.

HP - May, 1B - Porter, 2B - Ripperger, 3B - Kellogg

Max Scherzer was hardly at his best the last time out, or against the Miami Marlins earlier this season.
He'll try to improve on both performances for the Washington Nationals in Thursday's decisive finale at Marlins Park.
