So what were Davey Martinez’s first thoughts on the Washington Nationals’ 8-3 homestand in the immediate aftermath of the club’s 5-2 win over the New York Mets on Sunday?
“It’s funny because you sit there — I’m sitting there, and I said, ‘Man, I wish we didn’t have a day off tomorrow and we just keep on playing,’” Martinez said. “... but I understand the boys probably need a little rest, but let’s come back, we go to Philly, another team in our division, and let’s go 1-0 [Tuesday] and keep playing the way we’re playing.
