Nationals can't find way to foil the Fish

By Greg Rosenstein / MLB.com

WASHINGTON -- With four consecutive losses, the Nationals looked to right-hander Livan Hernandez to turn things around on Thursday night.

Unfortunately for Washington, he couldn't deliver.

Hernandez's early struggles ended poorly for the Nationals, as they lost to the Marlins, 5-0, on Thursday in Washington.
