--SS Hanley Ramirez hit his second game-tying home run in as many games. He's the first player to hit game-tying home runs in the ninth inning or later in back-to-back games since Gary Gaetti in 1989. Ramirez's home run Monday was his 18th.
--RHP Josh Johnson (elbow) will get at least one more rehab start before the team decides when he'll return. The team wants to have Johnson throw at least 100 pitches in back-to-back rehab starts. He threw 104 Sunday while allowing five runs on 11 hits for the Mudcats.
"He came out of it OK health-wise, which is the most important thing," manager Fredi Gonzalez said about Sunday's outing. "We'll see how he comes out (Friday) and we'll re-evaluate."
That means Johnson will start in San Diego next week or wait until after the All-Star break.
--LF Josh Willingham had his biggest game Monday since returning from the disabled list June 24. He went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a game-winning home run in the 10th inning. It was his first home run since April 24.
--RHP Ryan Tucker looks like the top candidate to return to the minors once RHP Josh Johnson returns. Tucker allowed four runs in five innings to Washington, which entered the game with an NL-worst .238 batting average.
Tucker pitched well in his debut June 9 but has allowed 18 runs in 20 innings since then.
--SS Hanley Ramirez moved closer to becoming the first player elected to start an All-Star Game who has worn a Marlins uniform the entire season. Ramirez increased his lead over Houston's Miguel Tejada to more than 168,000 votes in Tuesday's balloting results, gaining about 100,000 the last week.
BY THE NUMBERS: 0 -- Wins for LHP Scott Olsen in six June starts. It was the first winless month of his career.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's all about managing the symptoms. It's manageable now, so that's why I can play." -- LF Josh Willingham, on the lower back strain that kept him out of action from April 28 until Tuesday.
