April 1, 2013: Nationals beat Marlins, 8-7 on Opening Day at Nationals Park

Denard Span makes his Nationals debut count with an RBI single in the 8th that ends up being the winning hit in a wild back-and-forth game. Nats starter Stephen Strasburg allowed 8 hits and 3 runs over 5, but was sitting on a 3-run lead when he left the game. The lead was quickly erased by the Marlins' 4-run 7th. The Nats tied it in the bottom of the inning, also on a Span single.

Rafael Soriano also had a solid Nats debut for the save. Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen were battling for the closer spot at the end of last season, now they both line up behind Soriano.

The Washington Nationals nipped the Miami Marlins 8 to 7 at Nationals Park in
a hard fought contest.
 
The deciding run was scored by Washington in the 8th.  After an out was
recorded, Danny Espinosa slapped a base-hit.  Wilson Ramos was next and he
laced a single.  Denard Span then ripped a base-hit.  After another out,
Jayson Werth came to bat and was walked intentionally to load the bases.  A
wild affair, this game saw the lead change 5 times.  
 
The winning pitcher was Craig Stammen(1-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings.
Rafael Soriano earned the save, his 1st.  A.J. Ramos(0-1) was hit with the
loss in relief.
