Otto Lopez leads Marlins to 6-2 comeback win over Nationals

The Miami Marlins staged a dramatic comeback in the ninth inning to defeat the Washington Nationals 6-2 on Sunday. The rally was capped by a two-run home run from Dominican infielder Otto Lopez, which extended the Marlins' lead to 6-2. The surge began when Esteury Ruiz opened the ninth with a bunt hit against Nationals reliever Max Kranick. A series of walks, a hit-by-pitch, and a throwing error by Andrew Pinckney allowed the Marlins to tie and eventually take the lead. Jakob Marsee also contributed by stealing home during a double-steal play. Dax Fulton earned his first Major League Baseball victory for the Marlins, while starter Janson Junk allowed only one run over 4 2/3 innings. For the Nationals, Jorbit Vivas recorded two hits and two walks, and CJ Abrams made a notable leaping catch in his first start at second base.
