May 11th, 2008: Florida Marlins 5 at Washington Nationals 4 F -- All season long, the Marlins have ridden the left arm of Scott Olsen. So it was fitting on Sunday that the rest of the team picked up their most reliable pitcher on an off afternoon. Dan Uggla had two home runs while Jeremy Hermida also went deep to rally the Marlins to a 5-4 win over the Nationals in front of 25,871 at Nationals Park. The power surge was much-needed because Olsen labored through six innings, giving up four runs, including two homers. Nationals first baseman Aaron Boone, a former Marlin, had a big game with three hits. Boone homered off Olsen in the second inning, ending up a double shy of a cycle. For Olsen, it was a struggle to generate any velocity on his fastball, which topped out at 87 mph. He reached that speed on only a few occasions. The 24-year-old was coming off a career best outing of 8 2/3 innings and 121 pitches on May 6 against Milwaukee, which made Sunday a challenge to rebound.
