Washington Nationals’ Luis García on advice from Davey Martinez; lessons learned from his father...

Davey Martinez had a message for Luis García after the 20-year-old infielder hit his first big league home run in his third game after the Washington Nationals called him up for his big league debut in mid-August.

“I told him, I said, ‘Hey, don’t let it go to your head,’” Martinez told reporters. “‘Remember who you are, stay in the middle of the field, and ... he came up and he hit a line drive to third base. That tells me a lot about him. He’s going to have a lot of success in this league.
