Tanner Roark was sharp, throwing a biting curve and locating his fastball, including the break-back, two-seamer inside to lefties, but he made two mistakes, on a 1-0 fastball to Angels’ third baseman Luis Valbuena in the fourth, and a 2-0 fastball to Kole Calhoun in the fifth, and both of them left the yard as Los Angeles battled back from a 2-0 deficit and took the second of two in Washington, D.C., 3-2 over the Nationals.
Roark ended up going seven innings, giving up five hits, two walks, and three earned runs overall.
