WASHINGTON - It did not take long - two innings, maybe less - for Austin Voth to go from trending up to showing why the Washington Nationals may seek rotation depth ahead of the Aug. 31 trade deadline. The short-term damage was an 11-8 loss to the Miami Marlins on Monday night. Should Voth keep taking his turn every five days, the long-term impact could spread to the rest of the pitching staff. 

WASHINGTON - In an alternate reality - any reality but this one - there was every reason for the game to be loud and well-attended.
