WASHINGTON -- Josh Tomlin was not concerned with the ball that right fielder Abraham Almonte lost momentarily in the sun in the first inning. The pitcher also shrugged off the one that struck Almonte's glove before dropping to the warning track for a game-changing double in the fifth.
In the wake of Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Nationals, all Tomlin was focused on was the pitches he did not execute following the defensive miscues. Regardless of what happened behind Tomlin, all seven runs scored by Washington were hung on the right-hander's pitching line.
