Alex Call had a lengthy batting cage session, an unusual practice before a day game, in an effort to lock in his timing on fastballs. The Nationals' leadoff batter saw promising results when he lined out hard to third base twice in his first three plate appearances, demonstrating the solid contact he sought from his pregame work despite the results going directly into a glove rather than finding open space on the field. He was clearly hitting the ball well, a positive sign indicating his timing might indeed be improving as hoped.
