Trevor Williams got off to a rough start in his second outing of the spring last week in West Palm Beach.
Williams gave up a leadoff home run, back-to-back singles, and a three-run blast which put him and the Nationals in a 4-0 hole early in what ended up a 9-4 loss to the Astros.
All four of the hits came on pitches up in the zone, and the 31-year-old veteran left pitches up for back-to-back singles, the second an RBI hit, in his third and final inning in what ended up a 55-pitch, 38-strike outing in his second start of the spring after he arrived at camp late following the birth of a child.
