Before last night’s game, Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez talked about having Yadiel Hernández back on the bench, after he went down to get regular at bats at Triple-A in mid-June to early July.
“Yadi, I love having Yadi off that bench, I really do,” Martinez said. “I mean, he gives us that left-handed bat where he can drive the ball, and you saw him yesterday come up with a big base hit, there, but I like having him and when [Ryan Zimmerman] doesn’t play or Josh [Bell] doesn’t play, having those guys off the bench.
