Erick Fedde was winless in three starts since being recalled to the majors in mid-July (and winless in his previous seven starts overall) heading into his outing against Atlanta’s Braves on July 30th, though he’d put up a 2.63 ERA (9 ER in 13 2⁄3 IP) over that stretch, but Fedde gave up nine runs on nine hits and four walks in a 3 2⁄3-inning start against Washington’s NL East rivals at home in Nationals Park.
“Fedde had a bad night, didn’t attack the zone and he needs to get better,” Nats’ GM Mike Rizzo told 106.
