Finnegan allowed a single and a
walk to begin the inning but
struck out Chisholm with run-
ners on second and third to send
the game to extras.
Here’s what else to know
about the Nationals’ loss:What’s next for Adon?
The Nationals optioned right-
hander Joan Adon to Class AAA
Rochester and recalled left-
handed reliever Sam Clay. Adon,
23, made the Opening Day roster
but struggled, his ERA sitting at
6.95 after 12 starts. He allowed
eight runs and seven hits in
three-plus innings Tuesday.
Martinez said the Nationals
wanted Adon to work on his
game without the pressure of
being in the major leagues.
“This kid’s got a bright future
with our organization,” Martinez
said. “We love him. He works
hard, so I can’t wait till he gets
back up here and has a second
go-round.”MRI results back for Arano
Victor Arano’s MRI exam re-
vealed what Martinez called a
“bad bone bruise.” The right-
handed reliever was placed on
the 15-day injured list Monday
with a knee injury suffered when
he fell while reaching for a
groundball in Sunday’s win at
the Cincinnati Reds.“Just a tough break,” Nationals
Manager Dave Martinez said. “A
ball hits the base, a bloop hit, a
close play at home. Just bad
breaks.”
In a game controlled by the
pitchers — Josiah Gray and the
bullpen for the Nationals (21-37)
and Sandy Alcantara for the Mar-
lins (24-30) — Ruiz had broken a
scoreless tie in the top of the 10th
with a single that drove in Luis
García. But the Marlins answered
in the bottom half to clinch their
second win in the opening two
games of the series.
Gray and Alcantara had simi-
lar pitching lines. Both allowed
six hits. Both struck out six. Both
allowed no runs. The only differ-
ence was Alcantara was much
more efficient.
“He’s the best in our league, I
think,” Martinez said. “I really do.
I mean he’s got good stuff. He was
tough all night long. He kept us
off balance. You’re not going to
see anybody better than that
right there.”
Alcantara turned in nine
scoreless innings, tossing 84 of
105 pitches for strikes. Gray
needed 101 pitches to get through
five; that left the game in the
hands of the bullpen, which held
down the fort until Ta nner Rain-
ey blew the save and took the loss
in the 10th.
Gray worked through high-
leverage situations most of the
night. When he was in a bind in
the first three innings, he turned
to his breaking pitches.
He allowed two hits in the first
inning, and a catcher’s interfer-
ence call on Ruiz loaded the bases
with one out. But Gray struck out
Avisaíl García and Jon Berti with
sliders outside of the zone.
To end the second, he struck
out Chisholm with a curveball,
then got Berti for a second time
in the third with a slider after the
inning’s first two batters singled.
But Gray needed 69 pitches to get
through three — the Marlins
fouled off 17 pitches in that
stretch.
Alcantara, meanwhile, tossed
just 33 pitches in the first three
innings, and a whopping 30 of
them went for strikes.
Gray’s slider was just as effec-
tive as it was in his previous start
in Miami, when he got six of his
seven strikeouts with the pitch.
Four of his six strikeouts Wednes-
day came on the slider, and the
Marlins whiffed at nine of the 17
that he threw.
“I’d love to go longer than five
innings today,” Gray said. “But
I’m glad I got my pitch count up
to 100. Put some zeros on the
board for the team and kept us in
a position to win.”
Alcantara, who lowered his
ERA to 1.61, had faced the Na-
tionals two other times this sea-
son, allowing two runs over 14 in-
nings.
The Nationals managed six
hits off Alcantara but had noth-
ing to show for it. Soto doubled
on a ball that Jorge Soler mis-
played in left field in the sixth,
but the rest of Washington’s hits
were singles. Two of them came
from Ehire Adrianza, who made
his first start of the season at
third base in place of Maikel
Franco.
Alcantara faced the top of the
Nationals’ lineup for a fourth
time in the eighth and ninth
innings — and retired the top six
batters in order.
Martinez turned to Kyle
Finnegan in the ninth after Steve
Cishek and Carl Edwards Jr. com-
