Winless in his last five starts (0-2, 6.08 ERA, 5.50 FIP, 10 walks, 16 strikeouts, .320/.382/.546 line against in 23 2⁄3 IP), Trevor Williams also missed a turn in the Nationals’ rotation on the Bereavement List between his four-inning, 89-pitch outing against the NY Mets on July 30th in Citi Field and yesterday’s start on the road in Citizens Bank Park.
Williams’ manager, Davey Martinez, said his starter struggled to find a groove, but battled in New York.
“I think he just took a little more time to kind of find himself a little bit,” Martinez said.
