Last night, down at double-A Harrisburg, Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark was able to get the start for the Senators against the Richmond Flying Squirrels (San Francisco Giants). Back on August 26, Roark threw four innings for low-A Potomac, where he gave up three hits and struck out five batters. Last night, his outing was much shorter.
Right out of the gate, Roark gave up a run in the first inning. He gave up a leadoff single to Rando Moreno. He would score two batters later on a RBI groundout by Juan Ciriaco.
