Manager Dave Martinez trotted out his youngest lineup of the season — and the kids delivered with a 14-6 thumping of St. Louis, highlighted by Wood’s first homer.
James Wood receives congratulations from third base coach Ricky Gutierrez after his first homer. “I was just holding it in for a little bit,” Wood said. “But just getting to home, seeing everybody greet me there, that was pretty cool.” It was a little longer than 30 seconds from point of contact to the moment the smile crept onto James Wood’s face. Home run No. 1 arrived in the second inning of game No.
There, he was met by teammate Ildemaro Vargas, who is listed at 6 feet and who struggled mightily to get Washington’s “Uncle Slam” hat atop the 6-foot-7 Wood’s head. Once the homer prop found its place, Wood’s grin grew a bit more. It started fast. After MacKenzie Gore breezed through the first, CJ Abrams opened the bottom of the inning with a homer to straightaway center field, his 14th of the season. Four batters later, Ruiz drove in three runs with his fifth long ball.
When Martinez talks of his team’s youth, he does not mean solely Wood. Trey Lipscomb, 24 and a fellow Maryland native, arrived before Saturday’s game, recalled from Class AAA Rochester while the organization designated 29-year-old Nick Senzel for assignment. Lipscomb went 1 for 5. García, 24, had three hits, and Juan Yepez, 26 and recalled this week, added two of his own.
