Let's rip the bandage off this one quickly. Odrisamer Despaigne was bad tonight. Well, "bad" might not be the right word. Disastrous. Appalling. Double plus ungood. In a brutal three innings of work, he allowed seven runs on ten hits and two walks. And it was a death by a thousand cuts, as eight of those hits were singles, the first four of which came before Despaigne recorded a single out. Of course, even if he'd been remotely effective, the Padres still wouldn't have had a chance, as Nationals starter Jordan Zimmermann shut the offense down for six innings, keeping them to a measly six singles and a walk.
Nationals 10, Padres 0: Despaigne collapses
