The Marlins missed a chance to go ahead after Ross' homer in the eighth. Right fielder Kearns misplayed pinch hitter Wes Helms' sinking liner into a double. Alfredo Amezaga, who had reached on an infield single, tried to score but was cut down at the plate -- after missing home on his slide and being tagged out by Flores while trying to dance his way back.
Ryan Zimmerman tied the game in the bottom of the eighth on a run-scoring fielder's choice.
Notes: Manager Manny Acta said the Nationals would recall RHP Jordan Zimmermann from Triple-A Syracuse after the game to make Monday's start against Atlanta. It will be Zimmermann's major league debut. ... Cabrera grounded out unassisted to the first baseman in the fourth. Until then, he had been 0-for-18 with 18 strikeouts and two sacrifice hits for his career. In the fifth, Cabrera worked Penn, his former teammate with the Orioles, for a four-pitch walk. ... Zimmerman's RBI grounder snapped a scoreless streak of 24 2-3 scoreless innings by the Marlins bullpen on the current road trip.
