For the Washington Nationals, it was one step forward, two steps back last night as they fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks by a final score of 11-4. Gio Gonzalez was able to get out of a couple key spots in the first five innings, but a high pitch count caused Matt Williams to go to the bullpen earlier than he would have liked.
Once Aaron Barrett came into the game, he did not have his best stuff. With two on and no out, Barrett fielded a bunt by Nick Ahmed, but threw it into right field, which allowed both runs to scored.
