Washington Nationals news & notes: Nats drop season opener with Reds, 8-2; Nick Senzel fractures thumb before game...

Nick Senzel talked in a Zoom call with reporters after signing on in Washington this winter about returning to Cincinnati, where he played five seasons for the Reds who drafted him 2nd overall in 2016, for his first series with his new team.

“I have nothing but love there,” the Nationals’ 28-year-old infielder said of his time in Cincy.

“It’s going to be fun going back and seeing the fans and being at the stadium. Might as well get it out of the way opening weekend.

“Just excited to compete against those guys, after I played with them so long.
