After a rough major league debut, Jackson Tetreault has shown he belongs in the Washington Nationals’ starting rotation.
The 26-year-old right-hander allowed just one run in six innings, and the Nationals played error-free defense behind him in Sunday’s 6-4 win over the Texas Rangers.
“This kid comes up here and he’s very much under control. He’s got a good idea what he wants to do, and he works hard every day,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters afterward.
Before he came out for two batters in the seventh, Tetreault had given up two hits and two walks.
