Jayson Werth ripped 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Miami Marlins were badly
beaten by the Washington Nationals, 15 to 1.
 
Werth really 'lit it up' for Washington.  He smashed a solo-shot out of the
park in the 1st inning, blasted a two-run home run in the 2nd inning, blasted
a solo shot in the 5th inning and smacked a single in the 6th inning.
Washington bats were hot in the 6th inning when they had 6 runs on 7 hits.
Washington finished with 19 hits while Miami ended up with 5.  
 
Jordan Zimmermann(1-0) allowed 1 run in 6 innings, and picked up the victory.
Wade Leblanc(0-1) suffered the loss.  He surrended 4 homeruns in his 4
innings.  
 
'Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable at the plate today' Werth said after
the game.  'Despite that, I'm happy with the results!
