Washington Nationals news & notes: DJ Herz Ks 10; Nats lose to Mets in extras, 7-2 + Josiah Gray shut down...

“DJ’s fastball command was a little off,” manager Davey Martinez said after left-hander DJ Herz’s 3 1/3-inning, 66-pitch outing last week on the road in Petco Park.

“He threw a lot more changeups because he couldn’t command his fastball,” Martinez continued. “But he went out and competed and gave us everything he had. Just every day he goes out there it’s a learning process. We’ll get him back and he’ll be ready to go in another five days.”

Herz, 23, said after the start he struggled to put hitters away.
