Since the Washington Nationals have the day off today and have a chance to relax a bit in Denver before the Nationals take on the Rockies, here are some post-game quotes after Sunday afternoon's win over the San Francisco Giants 11-5.
"Making that pitch, after not making my pitches that whole inning, being able to make that pitch to that kind of hitter was huge... It was just an exclaim for joy and raw emotion. There's nothing like it... Obviously, strikeouts are nice, but zeros are nicer... Keeping us in the game is my main mentality, and I did just that." RHP Josiah Gray on his performance on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants.
"They had gotten close to us the previous inning, and the momentum kind of shifted... The excitement was on their end. The game was very close. They could've easily won the game at that point. It wasn't just the fact we scored three runs. It could've been one run, two runs. It gave us momentum on our side and basically gave us a little exhale." Yadiel Hernandez discussed his performance on Sunday afternoon via interpreter Octavio Martinez.
"I talked to him between innings and let him know: 'This is the inning where you've really got to focus on shutting the hitters down... 'Go out there and make your pitches. I know your pitch count is up there, but I think you can make it through this.' And he went out there and did great. I'm proud of him." Dave Martinez shared his conversation with RHP Josiah Gray between the 5th and 6th innings.
"Those are my guys... Since day one, they've been rooting me on. The support here is amazing. I'm happy to come to work every day to battle with these guys. ... They help me to relax. The support is amazing. I can't thank them enough." Louis Fox commenting on his first major league hit yesterday.
"It was a very good weekend series for us... A very good series offensively, as well. We got a lot of base hits, drove in a lot of runs. I think part of it has to do with focusing more at the plate. We just need to keep doing the same thing: Better pitch selection, and continue the offense like we did this weekend." Yadiel Hernandez on the San Francisco Giants series over the weekend
