“We can’t make mistakes,” Davey Martinez said in his pregame press conference yesterday.
“We can’t give other teams 30 outs and expect to win.”
With the speedy Corbin Carroll at first base after the D-backs’ outfielder grounded into a force in the opening frame of Thursday’s makeup game for Arizona in D.C., Washington’s new center fielder, Derek Hill, in his second game after getting called up to the majors by the Nationals on Wednesday, misplayed a two-out single to center by Christian Walker to give Carroll enough time to speed around and score for the first of four unearned runs in the eventual 5-3 win for the visiting team in Nationals Park.
