In their two losses in the series with the Arizona D-backs, Davey Martinez’s club had eight hits and two runs combined, with no walks.
In their 3-1 win in the second of three in D.C., they had six hits and four walks.
Not exactly an impressive offensive output. But the manager told reporters after the finale of the three-game set, he wasn’t concerned about the lack of offense.
While acknowledging Arizona’s pitchers did their part, Washington’s skipper said his hitters missed the pitches they got in the zone.
“We just missed some pitches to hit,” he explained.
