WASHINGTON - It will be hard to beat Juan Soto when it comes to making a quick impression.
But Luis García, 20, is giving it a good shot – with his latest milestone getting to bat fifth in the order in his fifth Major League game.
That is the case for manager Davey Martinez, whose lineup for the home game Friday night against the Marlins has García hitting fifth.
“I kind of like — he puts the ball in play, and that’s kind of what we’re looking for,” Martinez said before Friday’s game.
