Erick Fedde used some favorable check in his initial 2 begins, enabling simply 2 runs in each video game — yet he hadn’t supplied numerous innings, leaving after 5 both times. Wednesday evening’s beginning versus the Arizona Diamondbacks at Nationals Park provided him an opportunity to go deeper while maintaining the bullpen, as well.
However Fedde couldn’t make it past the 5th — and even leave the 4th — in the Nationals’ 11-2 loss. Arizona marked him for 8 hits and also 7 runs (6 gained) in 3⅓ innings. The Nationals (6-8) had actually slaughtered the Diamondbacks over 18 innings in Tuesday’s doubleheader; on Wednesday, the majors’ worst offending group, which was available in balancing 2 runs, had couple of troubles at home plate.
“Some rounds he left up, they were struck and also they were struck hard, and after that they fouled off a great deal of pitches, they placed the sphere in play,” Supervisor Dave Martinez claimed. “I informed Fedde, ‘Hey, look, forget this set and also progress.’ ”
The Diamondbacks (4-8) packed the bases in the 2nd inning without any outs. Fedde stayed clear of significant damages, surrendering simply one pursue setting out Carson Kelly, obtaining Sergio Alcántara to strike right into a sacrifice fly and also engaging Yonny Hernandez to ground out weakly.
Martinez claimed prior to the video game that Fedde would certainly have success if he utilized his put-away pitches to end up at-bats rapidly. However from the beginning Wednesday, it was clear he was having a hard time to do that, dragging out at-bats and also raising his pitch matter.
In the initial 2 innings, he tossed 16 pitches with 2 strikes: 5 were rounds, 10 were fouled off, and also just one, a weight for a called strike 3 versus Kelly, generated an out. In a second-inning at-bat versus Pavin Smith, Fedde leapt in advance 0-2 prior to Smith functioned the matter complete and also at some point strolled on 10 pitches.
“Reviewing a great deal of first-pitch splitting rounds that didn’t land for strikes, [they] placed me in challenging areas,” Fedde claimed. “I simply actually didn’t have that swing-and-miss pitch tonight. I seem like I simply couldn’t place people away when I prospered and also brought about some lengthy at-bats and after that some get in touch with, difficult and also soft, that landed for hits.”
On Fedde’s 2nd journey via the order, the Diamondbacks struck him previously in the matter. In the 3rd inning, Arizona marked Fedde for 4 straight one-out hits; when Fedde ran away, his group tracked 4-0.
In the 4th, Fedde had a hard at-bat versus Daulton Varsho. He tossed 11 pitches and also permitted a two-run homer. A solitary by Ketel Marte in the following at-bat finished his evening.
“I believe I revealed him every pitch I have, and also he simply maintained fighting and also wound up winning it,” Fedde claimed of Varsho. “That’s the one where I want I got on the opposite side of it. He provided me a heck of an at-bat.”
Fedde retired simply 3 of the last 10 batters he encountered, and also when the Diamondbacks made get in touch with, it was loud — 5 hits came off the bat at greater than 95 miles per hour, and also 4 mored than 100.
The bullpen permitted 4 even more runs. Martinez made use of 6 of the reducers in his 11-man bullpen — which shed Sean Doolittle to the hurt checklist previously in the day — to end up the video game.
That was sufficient for Arizona’s Merrill Kelly, that hadn’t permitted a run in his initial 2 begins. Kelly didn’t maintain that touch going — he permitted a solitary to Keibert Ruiz that earned Juan Soto in the 6th inning — yet aside from Ruiz and also Soto, that had a set of hits each, the Nationals didn’t obtain a lot.
What took place to Josh Bell? Bell was changed in the schedule by Lucius Fox prior to the 4th inning; Fox played 3rd base as Maikel Franco changed to initially. Bell had Washington’s initial hit, a dual to the left-center void in the 2nd. He progressed to 3rd yet was marked out in the house on a fielder’s option after attempting to stay clear of the tag. After the video game, Bell didn’t appear extremely worried.
“We’ll figure out even more tomorrow, yet today I don’t really feel as well awful,” he claimed. “So ideally it’s nothing extremely significant.”
Bell’s positive outlook is a welcome indicator for the Nationals — he has actually been their most constant bat in the initial 2 weeks, beginning every video game and also striking a team-high .354 while blazing a trail in hits (17) and also RBI (11). The Nationals have actually gone with a little bench, bring simply 3 additional placement gamers — indicating they might require Franco or backup catcher Riley Adams to take care of initial base if Bell is sidelined. When asked whether marked player Nelson Cruz would certainly be a choice, Martinez claimed he wouldn’t utilize him there.
Just How did Francisco Pérez price in his opening night? Pérez didn’t pitch for long after changing Fedde, strolling a batter and also surrendering a two-run dual to Seth Beer prior to leaving the 4th.
The Nationals declared Pérez, 24, off waivers from Cleveland in November, and also the left-hander began the period with Course AAA Rochester. He was contacted as the 29th guy for Tuesday’s doubleheader and also, adhering to a collection of lineup steps Wednesday, continued to be in the majors. Sam Clay, a fellow lefty additionally contacted prior to the video game, pitched the 6th inning and also retired all 3 batters he encountered on simply 6 pitches.

Tim Walz has 'gilded his record for political gain,' Washington Post columnist says
![Tim Walz has 'gilded his record for political gain,' Washington Post columnist says Tim Walz has 'gilded his record for political gain,' Washington Post columnist says](https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/08/walztim.jpg)
Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for exaggerating elements of his career for “political gain” in an op-ed published on Friday.
“I’m not saying that Walz lies, precisely,” Parker wrote in an op-ed headlined, “Tim Walz isn’t exactly what he seems.” “But he tends to gild his résumé for political gain.”
Walz has been forced to defend a number of controversies that have emerged following Vice President Harris’ announcement that he would be her running mate. In particular, Walz has had to explain his record in the National Guard and his 2006 congressional campaign’s statements on his 1995 drunk driving incident.

Parker called out Walz’s statements about his 1995 arrest for drunk driving.
“Walz, then a 31-year-old high school teacher, was clocked at 96 mph in a 55-mph zone in Nebraska,” Parker wrote. “He was pulled over by a state trooper, who, upon smelling alcohol, asked Walz to take a field sobriety test, which he failed. Walz then submitted to a hospital for a blood test, which revealed his blood alcohol level to be 0.128, well above the state’s legal limit.”
While that info is verifiable by police records, Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign staff told the press that the candidate was not drinking and actually failed to understand the police officer’s directions because of hearing loss, blaming an injury relating to his time in the National Guard.
Parker also responded to Walz’s interview alongside Harris with CNN.

“Morning show softballs may give comfort to the ill-prepared, but they deny viewers the content they need to be better-informed voters,” Parker wrote. “Nothing about the pair’s first (taped) interview Thursday night, with CNN’s Dana Bash, satisfied that imperative. Although Harris handled the interview relatively well, Walz seemed to be a mixed-up mess.”
“He answered none of the four questions he was asked, including whether he had misspoken when he said he had carried a gun ‘in war’ when he never was deployed to a combat zone,” Parker wrote. “A simple ‘yes’ might have sufficed, but instead he sputtered evasive nonsense and, to be rhetorically accurate, gobbledygook.”

The Harris-Walz campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
