Erick Fedde returned from a two-month stint on the Disabled List to make a five-inning start against the St. Louis Cardinals last week, giving up four hits, two walks, and four runs in an 11-8 loss in the nation’s capital in which he received no decision. The runs he allowed were scored in the second, and he wrapped up his return to Washington’s rotation with three scoreless on the mound.
Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez said things changed for Fedde when he started to work off his fastball.
