Reynolds stays in alignment, Doolittle has extended his toe (Marlins leads 4-2)

Manager Davey Martinez spent a restless night, but he came to the conclusion that he would keep Mark Reynolds and his bat burning in the national formation . He placed Reynolds at the third base and gave Anthony Rendon the day of rest.

Reynolds is 8-in-12 with three homers and 12 RBIs with two goals and six runs scored during the camp.

"Had to sleep on that one," said Martinez. "But Anthony could use a day off, I told him half a day, I hope we do not need him, but he will be available."

Martinez said the Club was losing nothing in defense, since Reynolds showed that he can work the glove well on the hot corner. He made the penultimate game last night at third base. Playing third base on June 25 in St. Petersburg, Florida, against the Rays, he made the three outs in defense to finish the eighth inning.

"He's really good, he catches bullets," Martinez said. "You've seen the coins he's made in Tampa, so why not?" He swings the bat, "It's red right now." Anthony could use a day. "

With Reynolds in the game. Alignment, the middle of the order displays the ultimate power of the Nats with Juan Soto, Bryce Harper, Reynolds and Matt Adams in the third to sixth ranks of the training.Then, Daniel Murphy slides down to number 7 , a place that he has never reached last season. "Murphy has played only two games in seven games this season.

" Yeah, in recent days it has been fun. We have length in our range, which is good. Every day you write these names of guys out there waiting for them to do their job and until now, they have done well in recent days. "

* Closer Sean Doolittle toes tight, but the boss does not believe this to be a major concern [19659003"He'sgoodhe'sgoingouttheretolaunchnow"Martinezsaid"Yesterdayhehadadayoffhehasalittletoetightbuthesaidhefeltgood"

* Right-handed Tanner Roark a recently searched for what was causing him problems to get the hitters out. Roark has lost four consecutive decisions and has dropped six or more points in two of his last three starts. Martinez said Roark 's goal today will be to keep the ball in the zone.

"I want to see him attack the area early in the Counts and his side yards need to be sharp," said Martinez. "
" When he's down, he's really, really low. Because when it's down, you can not tell if it's a fastball, a fast two-seamed ball, a fast four-seamed ball or a slider. Everything works well when it is down (in the zone). So I'm looking forward to seeing him go out today and compete and be the Tanner I know it can be. "

* Catcher Matt Wieters made his first rehab match last night for Double -A Harrisburg.Martinez said he was expecting Wieters to make another six or Seven innings today … Wieters went 1-or-4 with a double and an RBI last night to Bowie.

"He did well. He will play again today and then we will leave from there. He played really well. He said that he felt good, which is good. Ran a few balls at first base and had no problem. We felt good catch. Hit the ball pretty well. We will see what happens today. "

* Martinez has not confirmed that right-winger Stephen Strasburg will be in Lynchburg, Virginia on Tuesday night with a large Single-A Potomac for his first Game rehabilitation. The captain said that the Nats will make their decision on the first rehab site in Strasbourg after the match today.

* Martinez declared that he did not like to see the receiver Pedro Severino beat his bat on Saturday after Marlins

"I did not like that. We talked about it too. I'm not a big fan of that, "said Martinez." I get these guys who hit a lot of home runs, but when you have two, the flip beats do not play. He knows it now. "

But Martinez was impressed by the way Severino set up some good swings recently, while he was trying to be more consistent at marble.He has two circuits and four points produced in the series with a walk and two points scored.The three points produced last night are a career high for the 24-year-old goalkeeper.

"Yes, he beats better," said Martinez. "More important still for me, it's his game and his way of handling the pitching staff. It's more important to me than … but I'm glad to see that his bat arrives. He works very hard with (hitting coach Kevin) Long, trying to shorten his swing a bit and get on top of baseball and hit lines. He missed two balls too yesterday, which were really good. "
