Trea Turner back in the leadoff spot and says “I don’t care where you put me in the lineup, cuz all I do is hit!”  Turner goes 3-5 with his 7th home run and adds 3 RBI, but it’s Trevor Plouffe that hits a 3-run blast in the bottom of the 11th that takes the Nationals to an 8-5 victory over the Marlins.  Max Scherzer fans 11 over 5 2/3 in the no-decision.

Transactionally Speaking:

The only one of note is that the Pirates put Chris Archer on the 15-day IL with a sprained ankle.
