, against the New York Yankees this weekend — but Roberts hinted at the possibility of using Monday’s off-day to skip Syndergaard in the rotation.
The bullpen has been just as unpredictable. Brusdar Graterol entered Wednesday’s game in the eighth with the score tied 5-5. He hit Keibert Ruiz with his first pitch, bobbled a C.J. Abrams grounder to his left and made an ill-advised, off-balance throw to second that bounced into the outfield, putting runners on second and third with no outs.
Washington Nationals’ Keibert Ruiz celebrates with Stone Garrett after hitting a home run during the ninth inning against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. Garrett also scored. Will Smith hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning, Freddie Freeman and J.D. Martinez extended hitting streaks, and Miguel Rojas hit a clutch two-out RBI single that tied the game 5-5 in the seventh.
