After achieving some rare success in April, the Washington Nationals hope to carry over their strong play into May. The visiting Nationals look to open the new month with a season-high fourth consecutive victory as they try to hand the Florida Marlins a fourth straight loss Saturday night. Ryan Zimmerman homered twice as Washington concluded April with a 7-1 win at Florida on Friday. The Nationals, who’ve recorded their first winning month since going 15-12 in September 2007, are off to the club’s best mark through 23 games of any season. Washington’s last winning April came in 2005, when it finished 13-11. Washington, 3-1 on a six-game road swing, last won four straight away from home when it swept a four-game series at Atlanta to close out last season.

The Nationals have won five of seven, mostly while Zimmerman was relegated to pinch-hitting duties during that stretch because of a hamstring injury. The All-Star third baseman recorded his fifth career multihomer game Friday in his first start since April 21. Zimmerman is 4 for 8 with a homer against Marlins scheduled starter Chris Volstad. After Washington tagged Ricky Nolasco for five runs in four innings during the series opener, the Marlins hope Volstad can help them end their losing skid and bounce back from his last start. The right-hander, 1-1 with a 6.48 ERA in four starts against Washington, gave up seven runs in 4 1-3 innings of an 8-4 loss at Colorado on Sunday. Looking another strong start, Craig Stammen takes the ball for the Nationals. After lasting 6 1-3 innings in his first two starts of 2010, Stammen has gone a combined 15 in his last two. He gave up three runs in seven innings of a 4-3, 13-inning loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
