Washington Nationals news & notes: Jackson Rutledge returns; Nats beat Brewers, 5-2 in series opener...

Davey Martinez put off making an announcement on the starter for the series opener with the Milwaukee Brewers until after the series finale with the New York Mets in Citi Field, but told reporters after the third consecutive loss in the Mets’ home it was going to be their 25-year-old, 2019 1st Round pick Jackson Rutledge getting the nod in American Family Field.

“Rutledge is going to start, so we have to make a decision on who we’re going to send out,” Martinez explained.

“Got to wait for [Rutledge] to get down here and then we’ll make a decision tomorrow.
