Washington Nationals 3-2 over Pittsburgh Pirates on 2-out, 2-run Maikel Franco home run in 8th...

Davey Martinez liked the way Erick Fedde attacked the zone against the Baltimore Orioles in six scoreless innings in OPACY last week, though he once again noted that their 29-year-old right-hander would likely go deeper into his outings if he was able to put opposing hitters away in three pitches or less.

“When does that he’s going to give us seven innings, or eight innings, which is great. But he did well,” Martinez said.

“He got ahead of a lot of hitters tonight, fell behind 2-2, 3-2, but when he needed to throw a strike, he threw a strike.
