**Nationals Hope to Bounce Back After Dismal Mets Series, Face Marlins at Home**

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** – The Washington Nationals return to Nationals Park tonight for a crucial seven-game homestand after a disastrous road trip to New York, where they were swept by the Mets. The series was marred by a prolonged offensive slump, with the Nationals failing to score a run for 22 consecutive innings.

Now, the Nationals have an opportunity to turn things around against the Miami Marlins and Colorado Rockies, two teams struggling like the Nationals. A failure to capitalize on this opportunity would raise serious concerns about the team’s trajectory.

First up are the Marlins, who have lost eight of their last 10 games, including a recent sweep at the hands of the Rockies. Miami will send right-hander Edward Cabrera (2-2, 3.99 ERA) to the mound, who pitched well against the Nationals earlier this season. The Nationals will need to start strong to beat the struggling Marlins.

Mitchell Parker will oppose Cabrera for the Nationals. Parker, who also pitched against Cabrera in Miami, will look to get off to a stronger start after giving up all his runs in the fifth inning of that game.

Tonight’s game is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. EDT at Nationals Park.
