• Left-hander Patrick Corbin (0-3, 10.47 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season Saturday in the second game of Washington’s three-game series with the visiting Miami Marlins. Corbin allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 6 1/3 innings in his first two starts. He then threw six scoreless innings on April 20 against the St. Louis Cardinals, but last time out, Corbin took a step back, giving up four runs on seven hits in four innings of a loss to the Mets. He struck out three and walked three Sunday against New York.

• Miami right-hander Paul Campbell, 25, is set to make his first career start Saturday in his fifth big-league appearance. He has pitched to an 8.22 ERA in 7 2/3 innings, striking out nine and walking six. “It can be better. It’s still a learning experience for me, so I’m just trying to get better each outing,” Campbell said. “Learn from everything and listen to the veterans and the coaching staff. That’s all I can really do is try to learn and be better each time out.”

• Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th as Washington beat Miami 2-1 in the series opener on Friday night. Josh Bell started the inning on second base, and Schwarber hit a fastball to right-center off Yimi Garcia for his second walk-off homer of the season.

• The Marlins got seven scoreless innings from Pablo Lopez and took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 10th on Garrett Cooper’s RBI single that was just beyond the reach of shortstop Trea Turner.
