Trevor Williams tossed four scoreless innings in which he allowed just one hit, walking two and striking out one in a 52-pitch effort in the final exhibition game of the spring last week in Nationals Park, in his first outing for Washington, after signing a 2-year/$13M free agent deal with the Nats this winter.
It was, obviously, his first start for the home team in D.C., and it was an opportunity for the 30-year-old, seven-year veteran to get comfortable on the Nationals’ side of things after he’d made five appearances and three starts in the park as a member of the opposition in his career.
