Tanner Roark gave up five hits, four walks, and five earned runs in five innings on the mound in Nationals Park against the New York Mets earlier this month, throwing 100 pitches total in that start.
He followed up on that outing with a six-inning turn in the rotation against the Colorado Rockies in which he gave up three hits, a walk, and two runs, one earned, in a 96-pitch effort in the nation’s capital.
