Luis García went 0 for 7 with a walk and two Ks in the first two games of this past weekend’s series in PNC Park, but wrapped up the series with a 1 for 4 showing in the finale, sparking the Nationals’ offense with a 401-foot homer to center field in the top of the second inning of what ended up Washington’s one win in the three-game set.
“He played well, he jumpstarted us with the home run,” Davey Martinez said after the Nats’ 6-2 win over Pittsburgh’s Pirates on Sunday, and the 21-year-old infielder bounced back in the final game after a costly error in Saturday’s loss.
