While Davey Martinez lamented the fact his club didn’t come up with a big hit when they had the opportunities in a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies this past Saturday, the fifth-year skipper in D.C. did point to the performance by 23-year-old starter Joan Adon as a positive after the game in Nationals Park.
“What I’m really excited about is Adon pitched really well,” Martinez said.
“Threw strikes, first-pitch strikes, high-leverage situations he was able to control himself and get through it, so I’m really proud that he went out and battled like he did today, and I think it was a very good step for him moving forward.
