John Buck homered, Omar Infante had a two-run single and Emilio Bonifacio doubled to extend his hitting streak to 24 games as Florida won its third in a row.

Ricky Nolasco (7-7) improved to 9-3 in his career against the Nationals after allowing two runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings.

With the Marlins nursing a 2-0 lead in the third inning, Morrison doubled the advantage after depositing an offering from Jordan Zimmermann (6-9) into the right field seats for a two-run homer. Morrison now has a major-league best 25 RBIs in July.

Dobbs followed with his fourth homer of the season in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the seventh. Dobbs added a two-run single to highlight a five-run ninth inning.
