With Hunter Harvey going on the IL with an elbow strain, Manager Dave Martinez turns to Mason Thompson and Kyle Finnegan to close out a 7-5 win on the road.
Martinez rode his two best options, and it worked. The question is whether the go-for-broke strategy is sustainable.“[Rookie Amos] Willingham is going to have to pitch in the back end of the bullpen,” said Martinez, who’s also without setup man Carl Edwards Jr. because of right shoulder inflammation. “[Jordan] Weems was down today; hopefully he’ll be all right [Tuesday] and available. And the two lefties have to come out and face some left-handers, some switch hitters.
Yet again, the Nationals shuffled their pitching staff with four moves before the series began. The highlight was what Martinez considered a “best-case scenario.” After Harveyand behind his elbow Saturday, the team feared a grim prognosis. It was a relief, then, when an MRI exam in Washington revealed just a mild forearm strain, especially given the 28-year-old’s extensive injury history.
After two reached to start the fourth, Smith brought in Keibert Ruiz with a grounder, then Luis García brought in Stone Garrett when second baseman Christopher Morel couldn’t handle a line drive. Two innings later, Garrett led off with his second double — this one due to Cody Bellinger losing the ball in the lights — before García knocked him in with a sacrifice fly.
