MIAMI _ Marcell Ozuna added another bullet point to his All-Star resume Monday.
With a ninth-inning line drive to left-center field, Ozuna lifted the Miami Marlins to an 8-7, walk-off win over the Nationals at Marlins Park. Dee Gordon, who started the two-out rally with a walk, scored from third.
The game-winning hit gave the Marlins their first lead of the day. They had tied previously the game twice, with six innings in the third (four on Justin Bour's grand slam) and one in the seventh (on Giancarlo Stanton's solo shot).
Down six in the bottom of the third, the Marlins plated a half-dozen runs to tie the game. The final four scored with two outs in a rally sparked by Stanton's infield single. After Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna walked to load the bases, Bour walloped a grand slam into the Miami bullpen in right field.
Left-hander Justin Nicolino's return from the disabled list with a bruised left index finger was brief and unsuccessful. He lasted three innings, allowing six runs (three earned) on seven hits.
The Nationals burned him for two homers: Bryce Harper in the first on a full-count fastball low that turned into a scorching line drive to right-center, and Anthony Rendon in the second into the home-run sculpture. Washington added three unearned runs in the third on a rally made possible by Nicolino's own throwing error.
Vance Worley, in his first relief appearance since getting bumped from the rotation, allowed one run in two innings. Stephen Drew's pinch-hit double scored Ryan Zimmerman from first.
