Erick Fedde impressed in his first four starts as part of the Washington Nationals’ rotation this season, with a 2.70 ERA, seven walks, 13 Ks, and a .260/.341/.384 line against in 20 IP, but the 2014 1st Round pick struggled in outing No. 5, giving up six hits, three walks, and five runs in six innings in a 5-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
“Sometimes you start the game and you start nitpicking and stuff,” Nats’ manager Davey Martinez said of the start in which Fedde gave up three of the five runs he allowed in the first two innings on the mound.
