Davey Martinez addressed concerns with the air quality index in D.C. going into the second game of the Nationals’ three-game series with the Diamondbacks, with the smoke from the wildfires in Canada blanketing the nation’s capital (and most of the northeast United States for the past few days).

GM Mike Rizzo told The Sports Junkies on Audacy’s 106.7 the FAN in D.C. early Wednesday morning the air in Washington had been a factor in the series opener on Tuesday night.
