The Washington Nationals have played in 19 spring training games in 2019, and on Thursday the Nationals had a real incentive to win.
Well, perhaps not the entire team. However, Victor Robles had something on the line if the Nationals played well as a team.
Mark Zuckerman tweeted on Thursday that if Robles, batting in the leadoff spot, recorded five at-bats, manager Davey Martinez would buy the entire team Popeyes fast food after the game.
So, how did Robles respond?
In his first at-bat against the Twins, he recorded a double.
