After beating the Atlanta Braves 9-3 yesterday, the Washington Nationals’ offense came up empty this afternoon in a 2-1 Grapefruit League loss to their NL East rivals in sunny Lake Buena Vista, FL. Erick Fedde started for the Nationals and gave up one run on four hits over two innings of work.
Julio Teheran tossed two scoreless for the Braves, and the Atlanta bullpen combined for six scoreless before Moises Sierra hit a solo shot in the top of the ninth to break up the shutout.
Fedde Good: Washington Nationals’ skipper Dave Martinez was asked earlier this Spring what he liked about top pitching prospect Erick Fedde, who’s in camp competing for the fifth spot in the Nats’ rotation after making his MLB debut in 2017.
