--LF Jeremy Hermida has played a big role in the seven-game winning streak the Marlins take into Monday's game. Hermida's nine-game hitting streak ended Sunday when he was 0-for-2.
After driving in the game-winning run with an infield single Friday night, he hit two dramatic home runs Saturday: a two-run home run that tied the game with two outs in the ninth, then a three-run home run in the 11th.
What kind of reception did he get from Nationals fans when he went back out to left field?
"They were ragging on me after the first one," he said, "but after the second one, most of the people were actually giving me some congratulations. It was nice; I wasn't actually expecting that."
--3B Emilio Bonifacio has dramatically tailed off from his hot start. He's having a tough time reacting to adjustments teams have made on him, going 3-for-25 over the first six games of Florida's road trip. He's hitless with nine strikeouts in his last 19 at-bats going into Monday. His batting average has plummeted from .485 on April 14 to .321 going into Monday.
--RF Cody Ross has emerged from his early-season funk. He's 9-for-21 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in the first six games of the team's road trip.
