For five innings last night, the Nationals were the better team.

Fortunately, the Marlins and mother nature each had two strong innings of their own.

Down 5-1, the Marlins answered with three in the 6th and another three in the 7th, to take a 7-5 lead. Then, as the rain came down, Marlins players looked up toward the non-existent retractable dome and smiled, because clearly, this game was never getting started again.

If you’re the Nationals, this must be how every game feels.
