ATLANTA -- With his hands on his hips and his eyes fixated on Turner Field's left-center-field wall, Tyrell Jenkins' gaze could not be broken.
Just seconds earlier, Trea Turner blasted a three-run homer in the direction Jenkins now stared, marking the biggest blow by the Nationals in an eight-run fourth inning against the Braves' rookie right-hander.
So as Turner strolled around the bases, Jenkins pondered what went wrong in Saturday's 11-9 loss that ultimately led to him being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after the game.
"I just kind of left the ball up a little bit, and they got some hits," Jenkins said.
