Roark not taking anything for granted in '17
Tanner Roark has a great start for the Nationals, going seven innings and striking out seven while allowing just three hits and four walksWASHINGTON -- Tanner Roark proved in 2016 that he can be a dominant starting pitcher. He had carried that burden on his shoulder entering Spring Training last year, wanting to show everyone that he should never have been booted from the rotation.
After his success as a starter last season, Roark has established himself as an integral part of the Nationals' rotation. But the same desire to prove himself remains.
