WASHINGTON, July 26 (UPI) -- Greg Dobbs went 3-for-5, homered and drove in five runs Tuesday, powering the Florida Marlins to an 11-2 victory over Washington.

Logan Morrison contributed a two-run shot and John Buck chipped in with a solo homer as Florida banged out 13 hits and took the opener of a three-game series.

Washington's Jordan Zimmermann (6-9) was lit up for six runs on eight hits before exiting after 6 2/3 innings.
Laynce Nix socked a solo homer for the Nats.
