WASHINGTON — Rookie James Wood homered twice, MacKenzie Gore pitched six innings of two-hit ball, and the Washington Nationals defeated the Miami Marlins 4-3. Washington won the last three in the four-game series and finished 11-2 against the Marlins this season. Jonah Bride homered for Miami, which clinched a last-place finish in the NL East for the first time since 2019. The Marlins dropped six of seven on its road trip to Pittsburgh and Washington. It was the first multi-homer game for Wood. He ripped a 435-foot shot to center in the fifth and led off the eighth with a 426-foot blast to left-center.
