Nationals mulling change in closer roleAugust 18, 2019 | 08:25 AM

Nationals manager Dave Martinez acknowledged after Saturday's extra-innings loss to the Brewers that he may have to handle the ninth inning differently moving forward. Sean Doolittle served up three home runs in blowing a save Saturday and has really struggled lately, likely due in large part to being on pace for a new career high in appearances. Daniel Hudson has also been used a lot lately but might be the favorite for saves in Washington for the time being.
