Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez and GM Mike Rizzo on Victor Robles; Josh Bell; & Patrick Corbin and Riley Adams...

Following an 0 for 18 start in his first eight games of the 2022 campaign, some tweaks to his swing mechanics, and a ton of reps at the plate, Victor Robles started the 2nd of 3 in Coors Field on something of a tear at the plate.

Robles, “across his last 14 games ... has recorded a .341/.375/.455 slash line,” the Nationals highlighted in their pregame notes. “He’s 15-for-44 with five doubles, nine RBI, three walks and eight runs scored,” they added, and he’d, “hit safely in nine of the 14.”

“We worked with him in Spring Training, and it’s starting to click for him,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters recently, “so that’s kind of nice to see, and see the results for him.
