The Miami Marlins get the opportunity Friday to face Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg in one of his last starts of the season as his innings limit approaches its Mike Rizzo-imposed maximum.
Jacob Turner makes his third start as a Marlin after being traded from the Detroit Tigers. It's his second against the Nationals. The first start against Washington didn't go so well. On Aug. 29, Turner gave up five earned runs in five innings in an 8-4 loss.
