Davey Martinez praised the work his hitters did after an 8-1 win in the first game of three with the Giants in San Francisco this week.
The Nationals combined for 10 hits and took seven walks in the series opener, with Martinez telling reporters the club stuck to their plan against a still-building Blake Snell, and knocked him out after just three innings in which the lefty got up to 72 pitches (39 strikes).
