I'm sure many of you expected me to write about Joe Ross and his dominant performance on Friday night. For the second time in the past week, the 22-year-old rookie took the hill with the Nats on a two game losing streak and had a dominant outing. He was terrific last night, largely in part to a dominant slider that the Pirates just couldn't seem to get a good read on. However, we're not going to talk about Ross in today's column.... We're going to talk about the guy who replaced him.
Over the past month, the Washington Nationals have played the New York Yankees in a pair of two game series.
