Washington’s Nationals were 1-4 in the first five games of the 60-game 2020 MLB campaign before they beat the Toronto Blue Jays in back-to-back games last Wednesday/Thursday. It’s now been five days since they beat the Jays in the finale of the four-game home and “home” matchup, however, so will they once again have to shake off some rust? Davey Martinez had workouts over the weekend, and the club played instrasquad games, so... will they be ready to take on the New York Mets? Did the time off end up being beneficial?
“I could be honest with you, we’d much rather have been playing,” Martinez said on Sunday afternoon.
