MIAMI, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The Florida Marlins scored seven times in the eighth inning Sunday for an 8-7 come-from-behind win over the Washington Nationals.
The three-game sweep gave Florida 13 wins in 15 games against the Nationals this season.
Before the rally, Florida faced a 6-1 deficit. The Marlins' comeback started after three batters walked and later scored.
Three Florida players had two hits and two RBI. Josh Willingham drove in a run and one scored on an eighth-inning throwing error by closer Joel Hanrahan.
The winning pitcher was reliever Andrew Miller (6-9). Arthur Rhodes earned his first save by retiring the last batter in the ninth, quelling a Washington comeback attempt.
The Nationals were led by Ryan Langehans' third hit, an eighth inning three-run homer. Lastings Milledge had three hits and two RBI.
Luke Montz drove in his first run with a second-inning single, and a run scored on Mike Jacobs' seventh-inning error.
The losing pitcher was Steven Shell (2-2).
