The Washington Nationals achieved their first series win of the season with a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manager Dave Martinez emphasized careful management of his top relievers, which led him to sometimes prioritize their desire to pitch. In a critical moment, reliever Jose A. Ferrer managed two crucial outs, marking an improvement from his previous performance. The Nationals' patience at the plate and contributions from players like Dylan Crews, alongside strong pitching, played vital roles in securing the series win, boosting their record to 3-6.
"You learn, right? I mean, Ferrer understood what he needed to do."
