• Strasburg is having some trouble keeping the ball in the yard of late and served up a total of five home runs in 10 innings over his last two outings. The San Francisco Giants reached the former No. 1 overall pick for three homers among six hits and four runs on Tuesday to hand Strasburg his first loss. Strasburg had little trouble carving up the Marlins in three starts last season, posting a 2-0 record with a 1.80 ERA.

• Richards turned in three straight quality starts to begin the season before getting knocked around for five runs on four hits and four walks across 4 2/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The 25-year-old is up to 14 free passes in 22 2/3 innings with 21 strikeouts. Richards made three starts against Washington during his 2018 rookie campaign and did not earn a decision while posting a 3.68 ERA.

• Marlins SS Miguel Rojas is 4-for-7 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored in the series.

• Rendon had a 17-game hitting streak come to an end and is day-to-day.
