Foster Griffin pitched a gem in Sunday’s 2-1 win over the White Sox, hurling seven scoreless while striking out eight.
Griffin walked two and allowed just two hits in the 95-pitch outing. It was the left-hander’s best performance of the season, with strikeouts picked up on five different pitches. Griffin’s fastball averages under 92 mph, but he’s been able to keep hitters off balance enough to warrant streaming consideration. The Nationals entered Sunday having scored the second-most runs in MLB, so perhaps wins will be easier to come by in Washington after all. He gets the Brewers at home this week.
