A night earlier, Ryan Madson allowed a game-ending ninth-inning grand slam to the Chicago Cubs’ David Bote in a 4-3 defeat.“I don’t sleep most nights, I like to watch replays of the game,” Martinez said. “And last night was no different.”Washington’s bullpen has blown saves in three of its past four games. All-Star closer Sean Doolittle has been on the disabled list since early July, and top setup man Kelvin Herrera went to the DL with right rotator cuff impingement last week.“I don’t know what else to do,” Martinez said of the bullpen.The usually stoic DeJong wasn’t quite sure how to celebrate his first career walk-off homer. He started calm, keeping his head down as he rounded the bases.

Gant made his major league debut against Washington on April 6 http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/pat-tillman-jersey , 2016 as a member of the Atlanta Braves. The Washington Nationals are reportedly having a busy Tuesday, dealing Daniel Murphy to the Chicago Cubs (per Craig Mish of SiriusXM) and Matt Adams to the St. Louis Cardinals (per Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports).According to Fancred's Jon Heyman, the Nationals will receive prospect Andruw Monasterio and cash considerations or a player to be named later from the Cubs, while the Adams trade nets cash considerations from the Cardinals.The news doesn't come as a major surprise after Chelsea Janes and Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post noted the team placed a slew of players on waivers:"On Friday, the Washington Nationals placed Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy, Matt Adams, Gio Gonzalez and Mark Reynolds on revocable waivers, according to people familiar with their plans. Teams had two days to put a claim on the players. Of the group, at least Harper, Murphy and Adams were claimed. The winning teams were notified Sunday and have until Tuesday afternoon to work a trade with the Nationals."According to Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan, the Los Angeles Dodgers were the "mystery" team to put in a claim for Harper. However, Heyman noted Tuesday that the waivers had expired on the superstar and he would remain with the team for the duration of the 2018 season ahead of his looming free agency this winter.The Nationals' trades of Murphy and Adams also don't come as a surprise Authentic Josh Rosen Jersey , as the team continues to tread water, sitting at 62-63. The Nats are currently 7.5 games out of first place in the NL East and 6.5 games out of a wild-card spot.Murphy, 33, has appeared in just 56 games this season, hitting .300 with six homers and 29 RBI. In Chicago, he could offer infield depth at second base behind Javier Baez or fill in at third while Kris Bryant is on the disabled list.Adams, 29, is hitting .257 with 18 dingers and 48 RBI in 94 contests. He'll likely either transition to the outfield for the Cardinals, with Matt Carpenter having an excellent season, or Carpenter will slide to third base.
