Roger Bernadina homered and singled off the bench Tuesday against the Marlins.

Officially, they were the first two hits of the spring for Bernadina, who played for The Netherlands in the WBC. He had been 0-for-7 in Nationals camp. Bernadina had a great year as a part-timer in 2012, hitting .291/.372/.405 in 227 at-bats. Still, the Nationals didn't consider him for a full-time role this year. He'll struggle to match last year's at-bats total if Bryce Harper, Denard Span and Jayson Werth stay relatively healthy.

Roger Bernadina left the Netherlands' game against Japan Sunday after a hit by pitch.

It's not clear where Bernadina was hit, but he thinks he'll be OK. "I feel okay," Bernadina said in an e-mail Sunday morning. "I will see in morning how it feel, after I see the doctor."

Roger Bernadina swatted a solo home run as the Nationals were hammered by the Cardinals on Friday.

Bernadina finished the night 1-for-2. His solo shot was a no-doubter to center field off Joe Kelly, cutting the Cardinal lead to 9-2. He's now hitting .291/.369/.408 with five homers, 24 RBI and 15 swipes in 223 at-bats on the year.
