Nationals rookie Mitchell Parker faces Marlins, looks for third straight win

Washington Nationals rookie left-hander Mitchell Parker will try to keep his unexpected success going on Saturday afternoon when he faces the host Miami Marlins. "Our boys really fought," Washington manager Dave Martinez said after the win. As for Parker (2-0, 1.50 ERA), he took on perhaps the most talented team in the majors in his MLB debut on April 15, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4. The 24-year-old allowed just two runs in five innings to become the first Nationals starter to win his MLB debut since Stephen Strasburg in 2010.
