Marlins-Nationals postponed due to rain

Published February 05, 2015

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Tuesday night's game between the Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals was postponed due to inclement weather.

A makeup date has yet to be announced.

The Marlins won the opener of the scheduled three-game series 3-2 on Monday -- just their second win in their last 14 games in Washington.

Right-hander Henderson Alvarez was scheduled to start Tuesday's game for Miami against Nationals righty Blake Treinen.

Treinen, a 25-year-old rookie, will have to wait at least one more turn to get his first major league win. The Nationals said he would be available to pitch out of the bullpen for a few days.

Showers and thunderstorms moved into the Washington, D.C., area ahead of the scheduled 7:05 p.m. EDT start time and more were forecast through the night.
