Davey Martinez teased the possibility of Ben Braymer starting the nightcap of the Sunday doubleheader with Miami all week before finally announcing the Nationals’ left-hander as the starter for the fifth game of five this weekend in Marlins Park.
“Yeah, it will be Braymer in Game 2,” Martinez said late on Saturday night.
On Sunday morning, the third-year skipper was asked what he’d be looking for from the 26-year-old, 2016 18th Round pick, who started in 52 of 75 career appearances in the minors, then worked out of the bullpen in his first two big league outings earlier this season.
