There was a really nice sequence in last night’s game which saw 21-year-old Washington Nationals’ infielder Luis García alertly cover first on 3-2-4 DP, makes a glove toss over to first base after a grounder was deflected off the pitcher, and then hit a home run in the top of the next inning, momentarily putting the visiting Nationals up in what ended up a 7-6 loss to Atlanta.
“Yeah, I mean, I really believe he’s going to be really good,” Davey Martinez said after García went 2 for 5 with a double and the home run on the night.
