Erick Fedde struck out nine of the 20 batters he faced over 5 2⁄3 scoreless, and his catcher, Spencer Kieboom, homered for the first time in the majors before Fedde, who connected for his first MLB hit in the at bat after Kieboom’s blast, scored the second run of the game for the Washington Nationals, who beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-1 in Citizens Bank Park.
Fedde vs the Phillies: Erick Fedde’s first start since July 4th lasted five innings, over which the 25-year-old 2014 1st Round pick gave up four hits, two walks, and four earned runs.
