Washington Nationals’ lineup for the 1st of 2 with the Tampa Bay Rays...

Davey Martinez’s club went 4 for 11 with runners in scoring position and eight left on base in Sunday afternoon’s loss to the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park, leaving them with a .234 AVG in at bats with runners in scoring position this season, which is 21st overall in the majors so far in 2021. Their .335 OBP w/ RISP is tied for 14th and their .344 SLG is 26th.

The club’s struggles with runners in scoring position this season were once again on display in the top of the third inning in Philadelphia, when Victor Robles and Austin Voth were hit in back-to-back at bats and Trea Turner singled to load the bases with no one out.
