Davey Martinez’s club went 4 for 20 with runners in scoring position and 23 left on base in the three-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Nationals Park, losing all three games, prompting Washington’s manager to talk after the sweep was complete about the need to get their offense back on track.
“We’re struggling right now offensively as a whole. We can’t put nothing together,” Martinez told reporters after the series finale in the nation’s capital. “We got to get our offense going again. We’re playing well, playing good defense. We turned four double plays today.
