Davey Martinez talked, after the Washington Nationals’ win in the series opener with Atlanta in Truist Park this weekend, about reaching 70 wins, a 15-win improvement over 2022’s total, and a sign of progress for the rebooting organization as they work their way back to being a competitive team in the postseason race once again.
“Every win is important, but to get to 70 when, honestly ... we started the season, we didn’t know what to expect,” Martinez said, “... it feels good. We’ve got two more games. I’m hoping to get 71 tomorrow. But I’m proud of these guys.
