Nationals' lineup for the series finale with the Phillies + Dusty Baker on the Nats' bench

Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth and Danny Espinosa all sat out of Saturday's game with the Philadelphia Phillies, and the players who replaced them in the lineup, Clint Robinson, Michael A. Taylor and Stephen Drew combined to go 7 for 11 in the 8-0 win.

Dusty Baker talked to reporters after the game about the performance from Washington's bench players so far this season.

"No. 1, they work hard," Baker said, "and they don't get caught off guard, I mean, cause if anything you can always turn it off if you're not called upon, but it's hard to turn it on all of a sudden.
