It’s been an up and down 2017 season so far for Tanner Roark. Out of the four main starters in the Washington Nationals rotation, you can say that he’s the weakest one. Against the Arizona Diamondbacks last night, Roark helped out a team that had a short bullpen, but it was one of the weirdest stat lines you will ever seen.
Roark went six innings, gave up four runs on six hits, struck out eight, and walked two on 125 pitches (77 strikes). The 125 pitches were a career-high for the right-hander as he made some Nats history last night
Only Livan Hernandez, Esteban Loaiza, and Gio Gonzalez have thrown more pitches than Tanner Roark in Nationals history.
