SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Nationals manager Matt Williams has thought long and hard about his decision to remove Jordan Zimmermann with two outs in the ninth and go to closer Drew Storen, and he stands by it a day later.
Williams had extra innings after his ejection to ponder the move Saturday night, then a cross-country flight.
He says he would do it again, even if there’s some agony involved given Storen blew the save chance and Washington lost to San Francisco 2-1 in 18 innings, putting the Nationals in an 0-2 hole in the NL Division Series.
The best-of-five matchup shifts to San Francisco for Game 3 Monday afternoon as Washington tries to save its season.
