Patrick Corbin’s five scoreless innings on the mound in last week’s 4-2 loss to the New York Mets in the nation’s capital left him with a 2.59 ERA and a .204/.282/.280 line against in four starts and 28 1⁄3 IP on the season when working with Riley Adams, the Washington Nationals’ No. 2 catcher.
“I love what they’re doing,” Martinez told reporters in discussing pairing the two up since Corbin had shown positive signs working with Adams.
“Riley has really — has taken charge with him, and I’ve seen them both on the bench again talking through some different sequences, some different pitches, how they want to attack certain hitters the next time through, so they’re working good together, and I like it.
