No bunting the runner at second over to third in extras and playing for one run under Davey Martinez’s guidance. Not on the road. “When you’re on the road, you try to play just to score as many runs as possible. We had no intentions of bunting. He went up there, and like I said, I told him, ‘He’s going to go after you first pitch, so be ready for it,’ and he was ready.” <— this is Martinez in his post-game Zoom call last night talking about what he told Luis García before the second baseman stepped up to lead off the 10th in Tampa and launched a first-pitch fastball for a 2-run HR that won it for Washington.
