- The Washington Times - Saturday, April 9, 2016

Bad weather swept through Washington again on Saturday, causing the Washington Nationals to postpone their afternoon game with the Miami Marlins.

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader May 14 at 1:05 p.m.

Washington has played only four games in the last week.

The Nationals decided to keep their pitching on turn, moving Joe Ross from Saturday into Sunday’s afternoon finale against the Marlins. Max Scherzer has been bumped to Monday.

That means Gio Gonzalez, who is yet to make a start this season, will continue to wait. He was scheduled to pitch Monday against the Atlanta Braves.
