Marlins' Bour beats Nats with 10th-inning double

WASHINGTON -- Justin Bour hit an RBI double with two outs in the top of the 10th as the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 Thursday in a rain-delayed game that ended with a few hundred fans in the stands.

Bour, a product of nearby George Mason University, lined the double down the left field line off reliever Joe Blanton (0-1). His hit scored J.T. Realmuto, who had singled for his third hit.

A.J. Ramos pitched the last of the 10th for his first save as the Marlins salvaged the finale of three-game series. He retired Anthony Rendon for the final out with two runners on. The winner was David Phelps (1-1), who pitched a scoreless ninth.

Miami's Tyler Moore had a pinch-hit single with two outs in the ninth off former teammate Blake Treinen to tie the game at 3.

Ryan Zimmerman put Washington ahead 3-2 with a homer in the eighth off Junichi Tazawa. The second hit by Zimmerman was originally called a triple on the field, but a crew-chief review ruled it a homer.

Realmuto, who finished with three hits, slammed a two-run homer in the eighth to tie the game at 2 off Shawn Kelley.

Adam Eaton, acquired in a trade with the Chicago White Sox in December, hit his first homer with the Nationals to give Washington a 1-0 lead in the first off Miami starter Tom Koehler. Jayson Werth, who had two hits, crushed a homer in the seventh off reliever Kyle Barraclough to make it 2-0.

Washington starter Gio Gonzalez, who fanned seven, allowed seven hits in six shutout innings but escaped damage with the help of his defense. He was aided by a double-play grounder off the bat of Marcell Ozuna in the sixth.

Koehler gave up one run in five innings and was lifted after a rain delay following the top of the sixth. Gonzalez and Koehler both made at least 27 starts the previous four years.

Christian Yelich and Giancarlo Stanton each had two hits for the Marlins, and Daniel Murphy had a pair of hits for the Nationa.s

NOTES: The game began after a rain delay of 80 minutes. There was also a rain delay of 63 minutes before the last of the sixth. ...
