Going into his second outing after the trade deadline deal that brought him to the nation’s capital from Los Angeles as part of the return for both Max Scherzer and Trea Turner, right-hander Josiah Gray’s manager said the Washington Nationals weren’t really trying to tweak or change anything with the 23-year-old starter, opting instead to let him go out there and do his thing as he settled into the majors and the Nats’ rotation.
“We’re going to let him continue to pitch and just keep an eye on him,” Martinez explained.
“When we get these guys like that we don’t want to change them right away, we want to see them go out there and do what they’ve been doing.
