http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=370403120The "1" written in blue ballpoint pen on the baseball protected by a plastic box in Adam Lind's locker represented his first homer of the season -- on his first swing as a member of the Washington Nationals, no less. The "1" on the matching memento in Blake Treinen's possession stood for his first save of 2017 -- on his first opportunity as a big league closer, anointed as such by Nationals manager Dusty Baker after earning the job in spring training.
Opening day is always about fresh starts -- every team starts with the same record, every player with the same stats -- and Washington's 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday hinged on elements that have changed for the Nationals: a two-run, go-ahead, pinch-hit homer from new bench player Lind; a 1-2-3 ninth from familiar face but new closer Treinen; a double, two walks, a steal and a run from new center fielder Adam Eaton; a single and a run at the plate, plus steering of the pitchers from behind it, by new catcher Matt Wieters.
Lind turned on a 2-0 fastball from reliever David Phelps (0-1) in the seventh, then was coaxed out of the dugout for a curtain call by the loud sellout crowd of 42,744 on a cloudy afternoon. "It's the first one I've ever had," the 33-year-old Lind said of the special treatment from spectators. "It couldn't have happened at a better time."
...Returning after missing last September and the playoffs with a right elbow injury, Strasburg benefited from some defensive help. A catch in right by Harper, who leaped into the wall, then tumbled onto his backside on the warning track but said afterward he was fine. A diving stop by Trea Turner, the NL Rookie of the Year runner-up last season while learning to play center field but now at his natural position of shortstop.
...Nationals: 3B Anthony Rendon sat after fouling a ball off his calf during spring training.
