A downer in DC! Nats lose 9-6.

The Nats lost their second heartbreaker in a row to the Florida Marlins in 11 innings, 9-6. Joel Hanrahan blew his second save of the year in the 9th inning. The blown save gave Scott Olsen a no decision after pitching seven innings and giving up three runs.

The Nats lead by Austin Kearns grand slam in the second inning. Kearns had four RBI today. Ryan Zimmerman and Nick Johnson both had two hits a piece.

Today's box score is the following:http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20090418&content_id=4326244&vkey=wrapup2005&fext=.jsp&team=home

The Nats dropped to 1-9 which is the worst record in the MLB. They are in last place of the National League East.

The Nats wrap up their series with the Marlins tomorrow at Nationals Park. Daniel Cabrera takes on the Marlins' Chris Volstad at 1:35pm.
