It was the little details in the fifth inning that cost the Washington Nationals a chance at a victory Monday night.
“Those little things become big things, as we saw,” Martinez said. “We’ll talk about these things again tomorrow and hopefully tomorrow we play a cleaner game. This game was close for a while there and was a good game. The boys battled back but I would like to see us get through that inning, that one inning that kind of beat us.”
“I should have known [García] was playing a little bit more up the middle, I was playing him a little bit more [opposite field],” Smith said. “That’s probably where the mix-up went. But the play happened so fast. . . . Baseball is one of those sports where you see something new every day. If that play does come up again, then I won’t toss it to nobody over there.”
Lane Thomas led off the game with a solo home run off Luis Castillo, but J.P. Crawford responded with a solo home run to open the bottom of the inning off Williams. Williams wasn’t efficient over his four innings, tossing 83 pitches and forcing Martinez’s hand to bring in Abbott. And though the Nationals got to Castillo early, he only threw 57 pitches over four innings.Abbott — seldom used this season since being called up earlier this month — did provide the Nationals length, though he wasn’t necessarily efficient either. He walked four batters and struck out five, but it took him 77 pitches to get there.
