MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins are convinced they have put their early season woes behind them -- theyre making believers out of other teams. Giancarlo Stanton homered leading off the ninth inning to tie it and Ed Lucas beat out double-play relay in the 10th to lift Miami over the Washington Nationals 2-1 Saturday night. The Marlins, who were 14-41 through May, will go for the sweep of the three-game series on Sunday. Stanton homered on a 1-2 pitch from Rafael Soriano leading off the ninth to make it 1-all. It was Sorianos fourth blown save overall and first in the last 13 opportunities. "I figured he wasnt going to throw a strike -- which that wasnt," Stanton said. "I just saw fastball and reacted to it." Steve Cishek (3-4) struck out Scott Hairston and Ryan Zimmerman with runners on second and third to end the Washington 10th. "Cishek getting out of that big jam, the guys came in and that fired everybody up," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Guys were like, All right, this is it! Lets go! Lets get this thing over with!" Adeiny Hechavarria opened the Miami 10th by reaching second when third baseman Chad Tracy fielded his chopper but threw the ball into stands. Craig Stammen (4-4) walked Jeff Mathis, and Placido Polanco sacrificed both runners over. Justin Ruggiano was intentionally walked to load the bases. Lucas grounded to second baseman Steve Lombardozzi, who threw to shortstop Ian Desmond for the forceout at second. Lucas beat the throw to first as the winning run scored. "Thats a double play in April," Redmond said. "To win that thing on a fielders choice, and a lot of good at-bats . it wasnt a thing of beauty, but Ill take it." Nationals star Bryce Harper was ejected by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt after arguing a called third strike in the eighth. Harper also had complained about a called third strike in his previous at-bat, leading off the sixth. "He called it a strike and I wasnt going to take it," Harper said. "So I gave him a piece of mind and got out what I wanted to get out and he threw me out. Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Harpers frustrations were aimed at the wrong person. "You cant do that," Johnson said. "Take it out on the pitcher. You cant take the frustration out on the umpire." Washington starter Dan Haren surrendered three hits in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven and walked one. Jose Fernandez went six innings, allowing one run and four hits. The Marlins All-Star Game representative walked three and struck out four. "I came out of my game a little but today, got a little bit too excited," Fernandez said. "But I got it back and tried to keep the team in the game and look what happened, Stanton hit the ball out and then we got another run to win it." Jayson Werths sacrifice fly in the fourth gave Washington a 1-0 lead. Harper drew a leadoff walk, took third on Adam LaRoches one-out single and scored when catcher Jeff Mathis failed to grab a one-hop relay from Marcell Ozuna, who caught Werths flyball in medium centre field. Ozuna made a nice running over-the-shoulder catch of Desmonds fly for the final out in the third with runners on first and second.
