Davey Martinez talked before the third of four with the Philadelphia Phillies this week in the nation’s capital, about his decision to turn to Kyle Finnegan as the team’s primary closer in the aftermath of the deadline deals that sent Brad Hand to Toronto, and Daniel Hudson out to San Diego, and the decisions to option Tanner Rainey and Wander Suero to the minors.
“When you’re pitching, coming in in situations like the ninth inning, he understands what he needs to do,” Martinez explained. “And all he’s trying to do is get outs. And we talked a lot about just him going out there and just him remembering for him it’s just another seventh inning, he’s just going to go out there and just try to get three outs.
