  for this game

Olsen, Marlins aim to finish season strong

Sep 23, 2008 - 1:35 PM Florida (81-75) at Washington (58-98), 7:10 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Scott Olsen looks to win his third straight start when he toes the rubber for the Florida Marlins against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.

Olsen (8-10, 4.20 ERA) has allowed just one run in each of his last two outings, including Thursday when he pitched seven strong innings in a win against Houston.

The back-to-back wins come on the heels of a nine-start winless streak for the lefthander, who is 3-0 against the Nationals this season.

Washington has lost five straight games and was swept by the lowly San Diego Padres over the weekend to give the Nationals the worst record in the National League.

The Nationals will turn to rookie Shairon Martis (0-3, 6.23) in hopes of turning it around.

The 21-year-old righthander has lost all three of his starts to begin his career and was roughed up for six runs over three innings against the New York Mets last Wednesday.

Florida is 13-2 against Washington this season.
