The Washington Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 7-0 last night to even the four-game series. Here are our takeaways from last night’s game.

Coming off two tough losses to the Phillies and Marlins, the Washington Nationals picked up a 7-0 victory over the Marlins last night in game two of a four-game series in Miami.

Stephen Strasburg led the way with another brilliant performance on the mound. The Nationals’ offense did its part too, giving Strasburg plenty of run support to work with after a big seven-run frame in the top of the seventh inning.

Before the two teams get back to work for Game 3 of the series tonight, check out our takeaways from last night’s win:
