Erick Fedde makes his fourth appearances, and second start, of the Spring this afternoon when the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros meet up again at 1:05 PM EST in Grapefruit League action from West Palm Beach, Florida’s Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
Fedde, 25, who is in camp competing for the fifth spot in the Nats’ major league rotation, started in his initial Spring Training outing back on February 26th, giving up four hits, one walk, and one earned run in two innings. He’s come out of the pen for two appearances in a row now, however, tossing two scoreless against the Mets earlier this month and giving up a run on two hits in two innings after coming on in relief against the same Houston Astros he’ll face today.
