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.
