Going into Josiah Gray’s 2022 debut, Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez told the D.C. press corps he didn’t want his 23-year-old starter worrying about anything but trying to get New York Mets’ hitters out. Martinez felt the need to mention it because the Nats’ right-hander and former National Max Scherzer were matched up in the outing, and the fifth-year manager wanted to make sure Gray wouldn’t feel additional pressure going up against the pitcher he was traded for in last July’s deadline deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which brought Gray, catcher Keibert Ruiz, outfielder Donovan Casey, and pitcher Gerardo Carrillo to D.
