Davey Martinez didn’t have any problem with Trea Turner trying to steal second with Bryce Harper at the plate and two out in the fifth inning of last Saturday’s game in Citizens Bank Park.
“You’re talking about somebody that’s leading the league in stolen bases,” Martinez said after what ended up a 3-2 loss to the Phillies, though Michael A. Taylor actually led the National League at that point, with 23 to Turner’s 22, and the Braves’ Ender Inciarte is tied with Taylor for the lead now.
