MIAMI -- With a game-changing swing, Michael Morse achieved one milestone, edged closer to another and gave the Washington Nationals a comeback victory. Morse hit his 30th home run, a three-run shot with two out in the ninth inning, to rally Washington past the Florida Marlins 6-4 Monday night. The hit boosted Morses average to .303, helping his bid for his first .300 season. The native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., earned a curtain call from friends and family seated behind the Nationals dugout. "This was great," he said. "The curtain call was unreal, and to help the team win today, it was a big game." The Nationals clinched third place in the NL East. Theyre the first team from Washington to finish as high as third since 1945. With two games remaining, the Nationals (79-80) still have a chance at the franchises first winning season since 2003. "We havent accomplished anything unless were fighting for a pennant," manager Davey Johnson said. "Were moving in that direction." Washington improved to 16-9 in September. "A lot of these guys wish there was another month left," Morse said. "Were jelling together and pushing forward and showing teams that we can turn this division around soon." His homer came off Edward Mujica (9-6), who was trying to earn the first save for the Marlins since closer Leo Nunez returned last week to his native Dominican Republic and admitted playing under an assumed name. Florida led 4-3 when pinch-hitter Laynce Nix and Ian Desmond started the ninth with singles. Mujica retired the next two batters before Morse homered on a 1-1 pitch.

Two games remain in the stadium that has been their home since their first season in 1993. Jack McKeon announced before the game hell retire as Floridas manager at the end of the season after a three-month career comeback at age 80. The defeat dropped his team deeper into last place in the NL East. "Tough one," McKeon said. "I thought we had it in the bag. I guess its one of those years." Logan Morrison hit his 23rd home run off Washingtons Tommy Milone, who allowed three runs in 4 1-3 innings. Floridas Anibal Sanchez needed 104 pitches to get through five innings in his final start. He allowed three runs, two earned, and walked five. "Something really weird happened with my mechanics," Sanchez said. "Thats not the way I wanted to finish the season." Rookie Atahualpa Severino (1-0) earned his first career win. Henry Rodriguez pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save in five chances. The Marlins took a 4-3 lead in the seventh. Omar Infante reached on a two-out infield single, Mike Stanton walked and Gaby Sanchez followed with an RBI single. Washington then came from behind for the third time. The final series in the ballpark notorious for wet weather got off to an appropriate start with a 57-minute rain delay. The Nationals scratched out an unearned run in the third. Ian Desmond reached on an error by shortstop Emilio Bonifacio, stole second, took third on a balk and came home on a groundout by Rick Ankiel. Florida took a 2-1 lead in the third when Omar Infante tripled and scored on a single by Mike Stanton. The Nationals went ahead 3-2 in the fourth thanks to an RBI double by Desmond and a run-scoring single by Ankiel. Washingtons Craig Stammen retired all five batters he faced, but his wild pitch allowed the tying run to score in the fifth.
