MIAMI -- Ryan Zimmermans power gave the Washington Nationals a key win on Saturday night. Zimmerman homered twice and drove in three runs, powering the Nationals to a 9-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. Jayson Werth and Anthony Rendon had three hits apiece as the Nationals won for the third time in four games to remain on the fringe of the NL wild-card race. Tanner Roark (5-0) pitched six scoreless innings in his first start of the season. Tyler Moore went 2 for 5 with two RBIs after replacing Bryce Harper in Washingtons lineup. Harper was scratched after what Johnson said after the game was inflammation in his hip. "Hes going to go to see the doctor tomorrow, figure out what it is, treat it, and hell meet us in New York, hopefully," Johnson said. Adeiny Hechavarria and Jeff Mathis each drove in a run for Miami, which was unable to overcome a sluggish outing for Nathan Eovaldi. Christian Yelich, who extended his hitting streak to eight games with his 14th multi-hit game, had two hits and scored a run. Eovaldi (3-6) lasted just three innings in his shortest outing of the season. He allowed five runs and nine hits. "I was battling out there; trying to limit the damage," Eovaldi said. "You just have to have short-term memory and forget this one. You try to learn from it and move on." Miami manager Mike Redmond had a hunch early on that Eovaldis night might be a short one. "They were squaring him up pretty good," Redmond said. "You could see that it wasnt going to be his night. We got out of the game early." Washington got off to a fast start behind Zimmerman, who drove a 1-2 pitch over the wall in centre in the first to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead. Zimmermans 18th homer came after Denard Span reached on a leadoff single to extend his career-high hitting streak to 18 games. "Its a big park. You just hit the ball hard and hopefully good things will happen," Zimmerman said. "After two home runs youre feeling pretty good ... a decent night." Zimmerman belted Eovaldis first pitch of the third over the wall in right for his 12th career multihomer game. Washington added two more runs in the inning on Wilson Ramos two-run single. Span added a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Adam LaRoche doubled home a run in the seventh, helping the Nationals improve to 10-4 against the Marlins this season. Roark struck out four and walked none. He was 4-0 with a 1.19 ERA in nine relief appearances before joining the rotation. "We got a couple runs early and that takes a lot of weight off your shoulders," Roark said. "I keep going at guys, keep attacking, (Im thinking) dont give into anybody." Washington manager Davey Johnson was thrilled with Roarks performance in combination with the clubs ability to put up some good numbers offensively. "The story really was Roark. He really pitched a great game," Johnson said. "Its one thing to have great stuff, but he has great command. He throws it like Satchel Paige." Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is scheduled to be evaluated Sunday after leaving the game as a precautionary measure in the seventh inning with a sore ankle. He is listed day to day. Miami scored in the seventh on consecutive RBI singles by Hechavarria and Mathis. NOTES: Ryan Zimmerman has hit 15 of his 19 home runs on the road. ...

FRISCO, Texas -- Canadian womens head coach John Herdmann says hes tired of seeing his team lose to the United States. Winless against its arch rival since 2001, Canada dropped its latest contest -- a friendly between the two nations on Friday night -- 1-0 on a goal by Canadian-born Sydney Leroux. "Were disappointed because were sick of saying good try, well done, and we battled hard," Herdmann said. "At some point weve got to beat this team and if its not now, then when? And hopefully its (at the Womens World Cup) in 2015." Leroux, who is a U.S. citizen, scored in the 78th minute to break a scoreless tie against Canada and give the U.S. the victory in both teams 2014 opener. It was Lerouxs fourth goal in the past three games, with two of them coming against the country of her birth. "I love to watch her," Herdmann said. "Shes a phenomenal player and shes great to watch ... and she scores against us. Ive just told her (after the game) to stop doing that, man. You do it against anyone else but not us." The game looked as if it was going to be a scoreless draw before Lerouxs late offence, largely thanks to strong play by Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod and no clear goal chances for the U.S. "I always hope that were going to get one," said Leroux, who was stopped several times in the first half. "Thats kind of how we play, and we push to the very last second. Im just happy that we came out on top of the game 1-0. It was a good game. It was physical and Im glad we came out on top." The Americans sent plenty of chances into the zone, but McLeod calmly caught and parried several crosses. But in the 78th minute, a bit of nifty footwork gave the U.S. the lead. Becky Sauerbrunn started a run with the ball outside the 18-yard box, fed the ball to substitute Christen Press and then immediately got it back, going towward the right post.dddddddddddd Press then weaved a pass through McLeod and defenders Kadeisha Buchanan and Sura Yekka to find Leroux waiting all alone 3 yards. Leroux one-timed the ball with the inside of her left foot for the game-winner. The Americans extended their home unbeaten streak to 78 games (68-0-10). The U.S., ranked No. 1 in the world, also remains undefeated under second-year coach Tom Sermanni (14-0-3), and is a perfect 11-0 all time when playing in Texas. The win marks a strong start to a World Cup qualifying year for the Americans. CONCACAF qualifying is at the end of the year, and the U.S. should be favourites to emerge out of the region. Canada, the hosts the 2015 Womens World Cup, automatically qualifies for the tournament. The 20,862 fans at FC Dallas home stadium were the largest crowd since 2003. "I was a bit anxious about this game because we havent played a game for a long time," said Sermanni, whose team hadnt played since a 4-1 victory against Brazil. "The players have had time off. Canada has played some international recently." The Americans thought they took the lead in the 38th minute when defender Whitney Engen popped in a headed pass, but she was called offside by about 6 yards. Canadian midfielder Josee Belanger took possession at the top of the U.S. zone moments after Engens offside and dinked the ball through two American defenders to Diana Matheson. U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo cut down the angle and Mathesons cross-body chip from about 6 yards trickled past the far post to preserve the scoreless half. It was Solos only test of the first half, and she didnt have to make a save until diving to her right in the 87th minute to stop Jonelle Filigno and preserve the shutout. "You know theyre going to score," Herdmann said. "Ive never known a game where the U.S. doesnt score." ' ' '
