Washington Nationals’ Victor Robles sits with mild right hamstring injury, Michael A. Taylor starts in NLDS Game 3

With two on and no one out in the top of the eighth inning on Friday night, Victor Robles tried to get a bunt down to advance Ryan Zimmerman (who’d doubled) and Kurt Suzuki (who’d walked). Robles moved both runners up, but he tweaked his hamstring running it out, and got a visit from trainer Paul Lessard as he walked off the field.

The Nationals scored a run, going up 4-2. Michael A. Taylor took over in center field in the next half-inning.

“Yeah, he’s got a little hamstring issue,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters after the Nationals’ 4-2 win.
