Reynaldo Lopez managed to strike out nine batters in his MLB debut, but the Los Angeles Dodgers touched him up a bit with 10 hits and six earned runs while he was on the mound in what ended up an 8-4 loss for the Washington Nationals.
Reynaldo Lopez signed for $17,000 as an amateur free agent in 2012 and worked his way up the organizational ladder relatively quickly, becoming the first player signed and developed out of the Dominican Republic (2005-present) to start a Major League game for the Nationals when he debuted in front of 38,747 fans tonight in Nationals Park.
