The Washington Nationals acquire David Carpenter from the New York Yankees yesterday, just in time for him to replace Aaron Barrett in the Nats' bullpen after Barrett was placed on the 15-Day DL with a bicep strain.
Washington Nationals' right-hander Aaron Barrett gave up a run on a walk and a hit in the eighth inning of last night's loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee's Miller Park, but he was lifted from the game after a mound visit from skipper Matt Williams, pitching coach Steve McCatty and the Nationals' trainer.
