Sammy Solis didn’t have the answers.
The Washington Nationals reliever entered Saturday’s game with his team down 9-0 against the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning to get some reps. He was making just his fourth appearance since returning July 1 from the disabled list after missing 65 games with elbow soreness.
By the time Solis left Saturday’s game, the Braves’ lead had ballooned to 13-0 and Solis had surrendered four runs on four hits and two walks on 34 pitches. He lasted just a third of the inning.
“That’s the most frustrating part,” said Solis, who insisted he is healthy.
