Doug Fister gave up a three-run home run to right in his first relief appearance for the Washington Nationals after he was sent to the bullpen last week. What role will the 31-year-old right-hander play in the Nats' 'pen?
Matt Williams talked after Doug Fister's last start about the problems the 31-year-old right-hander has dealt with over the last few months as he's struggled to keep the ball down in the zone.
"For him it's about down," Williams said. "The down angle, the ball moving down, and when the ball is up it doesn't have a chance to do that, so it moves laterally, especially to the left-handers and they can stay on the baseball and hit it to the middle of the diamond.
