Washington Nationals news & notes: Mitchell Parker vs the Rays in 3-1 loss; James Wood to join Nats in D.C.?

Mitchell Parker gave up three singles and a run in the first inning of his outing back on June 22nd in Denver, Colorado, and a one-out walk, single, and then a three-run home run on an 89.4 MPH fastball up in the zone and over the middle that went out 436 ft to center field in Coors Field.

“It was just a really bad fastball,” Parker said of the home run pitch, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman, after the game.

“A really, really bad fastball.”

“Minus the home run, I thought I did a decent job,” Parker added.
