Sitting at his locker after the Nationals’ 5-2 win Thursday night, Jayson Werth was the kind of calm that has not been pervasive outside of the Nationals’ clubhouse during a bumpy start. Werth is 35 years old. This is his 13th season. He’s not prone to being a reactionary during the second week of a season.
“We’ll be fine,” Werth said. “Just got to keep going. Play the game we’re accustomed to playing. I think Denard (Span) is getting close. I think (Anthony Rendon) is feeling better, too. Get everybody back, will definitely help.
