Washington Nationals news & notes: Joey Meneses 420; Tres Barrera gets start; Mike Rizzo on Jackson Rutledge

Joey Meneses’s 420-foot, go-ahead, two-run home run on Wednesday came off of the bat at 106.7 MPH (exit velocity) ... and it was just his third-hardest hit ball of the game, behind a 108.5 MPH single and a 107.5 MPH groundout. Meneses’s 2 for 4 game was his 17th multi-hit game in his first 43 games in the majors after making his MLB debut back on August 2nd ...(say it with me) after 10 seasons in the minors and playing internationally.

“I’ve been working my whole life to get to this point and have success at the big league level,” Meneses said, as quoted by MASN’s Paul Mancado after the Nationals’ one win in the three-game series in Truist Park.
