Following Washington’s 5-1 over Atlanta in the finale Sunday in Atlanta Georgia DJ Hertz who started who pitched 5.0 innings surrendering 1 hit, 0 earned runs , 3 walks while striking out 8 Atlanta batters had this to say about his start!
I think it’s kind of just letting it go and focusing on the next batter,”
It all happens just by attacking the zone,”“When I’m attacking the zone and [I get] settled in, it all plays. I’m not chasing anything, I'm just letting it happen.”
It felt good,”With how everything has been going, I kind of felt like that was my last inning. I let it all out there. It was nice to finish strong, especially with how it started. I was pleased with how I finished.”
[The first inning] has been like that three times in a row. That’ll stop eventually, but I just keep grinding through [my starts] and they will eventually change.”
Following Washington’s 5-1 over Atlanta in the finale Sunday in Atlanta Georgia Washington manager Dave Martinez had this to say about DJ Hertz start!
We talk about it all the time. The first inning over the last couple of starts has been rough, but he seems to settle down a little bit and he starts throwing strikes and utilizing his pitches. It’s about getting the ball close to the zone because his stuff is really good. If he gets too erratic, that’s when he gets in trouble. When he keeps the ball in the zone, he gets a lot of swings and misses.”
It’s a good feeling and we played really [well] all around,“I pitched well. The bullpen came in and pitched really well. We finally got some hits going and we put some runs on the board. It’s a nice feeling for the pitchers when the guys are hitting and scoring. It takes a little bit off us.”
