A bunch of early mistakes proved costly against the Guardians in a 3-2 defeat.
CLEVELAND — Jacob Young was in disbelief. The Washington Nationals center fielder shrugged at home plate while he held his helmet in his left hand and pointed toward his bat on the ground with his right. He wanted an explanation. Soon, so would Manager Dave Martinez.
After a lengthy discussion with Young, Moore moved away — but walked right into Martinez, who argued until he got ejected. That sequence didn’t define the Nationals’ 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday afternoon at Progressive Field, but it did provide insight to a strange, sloppy game.“It was a foul ball,” Martinez said. “Ball hit the knob of the bat and rolled basically to our dugout. For me, he missed a call. He said he didn’t hear it, he didn’t see it. That stuff can’t happen.
“Just sloppy on our part,” Martinez said. “A blooper we should’ve caught, a couple infield hits, made a couple outs on the bases — just a lot of mistakes. … And we’ve been playing good. I’m not going to critique the way we’re playing. But today was just sloppy.” Parker walked a career-high four but settled in from there. He left two runners on in the sixth inning for Dylan Floro, who retired Austin Hedges on one pitch.
