Erick Fedde gave up three hits, two walks, and two runs in a long, 36-pitch first on the road in Great American Ball Park, then the 29-year-old settled in with three scoreless innings (in which he threw a total of 38 pitches), before he gave up two hits and two runs in his final inning of work in the fifth. Manager Davey Martinez pulled the plug on the Washington Nationals’ starter’s 11th outing of 2022 at that point.
“He didn’t have any command with his cutter,” Martinez told reporters after Fedde threw his cutter just 12 times, 14%, down from 30.
