Washington Nationals’ lineup for the series opener with the Pittsburgh Pirates in PNC

Don’t tell Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez taking 2 of 3 from the defending World Series champions in an early-April series doesn’t mean much. It meant a lot for his rebooting ballclub to win their series with the Atlanta Braves.

“Yeah, absolutely. These guys are the defending world champs, so it feels good to come in here, even though it’s early, but we try to go 1-0 every day, and today we went 1-0, and tomorrow we got Pittsburgh, but we can’t sleep, we got to be ready to play tomorrow. It’s not going to be no easy task.
