From Rotoworld: deGrom spun seven innings of one-run ball and struck out 12 batters in a 2-1 victory over the Phillies on Friday. DeGrom was flat-out dominant, allowing just three hits while walking one. He flirted with a no-hitter before Curtis Granderson lost a ball in the lights with two outs in the fifth inning. It resulted in a triple for Andrew Knapp, who was brought home on a single from Ty Kelly. Still, it was another dominant outing from deGrom. He now owns a 0.84 ERA and 30/3 K/BB ratio in 32 innings over his last four starts.
Roark was pulled after giving up three runs and walking five in three innings Friday against the Cardinals. Roark has given up 22 runs over just 16 2/3 innings in his last four starts, taking his ERA from 3.87 to 5.27. He indicated last week that nothing physically was wrong. Still, the Nationals might want to skip him in the rotation once, just to see if that might help. The five walks tonight weren’t him at all.
