But I can't say enough about how hard we've played."ĭespite multiple opportunities to add to a 1-0 lead they held since the top of the first, the Nationals could not push another runner across the plate until the very end. Especially with less than two outs, guys in scoring position. We've got to make some more opportunities and try to drive in runs. From starters to the relievers, they pitched really well. "This whole road trip, they were outstanding. "They've been pitching really well," manager Davey Martinez said. Finnegan, who had already recorded the final out of the eighth, stranded a runner on third to finish this victory off and send the Nationals home with a 3-3 record on the trip, their pitching staff having surrendered only 13 total runs over those six games. Vargas’ blast on a 1-2 fastball from Sewald broke a 1-1 tie and gave Kyle Finnegan the opportunity to close it out in the bottom of the ninth. I'm going to prepare as much as I can, especially for next year, and show them I'm ready to play. "I'm trying to show them that I can help the team win any way possible," Vargas said. But this much is certain: He has fully supplanted Maikel Franco as the everyday third baseman over the last couple weeks, to the point where Franco is now buried on the bench and in danger of being released once young infielder Luis García comes off the injured list (perhaps as soon as Friday). Whether Vargas has a long-term future with the Nationals remains to be seen. I'm just trying to take advantage and keep working hard and contribute any way I can." "I'm very thankful to the team, the organization, for the opportunity I've gotten. "I've always worked hard to get an opportunity like this one, to where I get an opportunity to play every day," Vargas said, via interpreter Octavio Martinez. It was Vargas’ second homer of this West Coast trip, his previous one coming in his first at-bat in San Diego during Thursday night’s win over the Padres. Vargas’ two-run homer off Mariners closer Paul Sewald with two outs in the top of the ninth this afternoon lifted the Nats to an unexpected 3-1 victory in the finale of a brief, two-game series. Now how about Ildemaro Vargas, the 31-year-old utility infielder who has suddenly become the Nationals’ everyday third baseman and just finished off a strong road trip with a bang. We’ve already seen Joey Meneses do it with six homers in his first three weeks in the big leagues.
