A couple of formerly-prized prospects in the Washington Nationals’ system faced off on Tuesday night in Miami, where Erick Fedde mowed down the Marlins and the Nationals jumped on Jesús Luzardo in a 5-1 Washington victory.
The Nationals dealt Luzardo in a package to Oakland for key pieces of a championship team in 2017, the same year Fedde made his major league debut for the Nats as a September call-up.
Fedde had one of his most efficient outings of the season, allowing six hits and one walk in a 103-pitch start, with the final hit and the walk ending his night one out into the seventh inning.
