Fans seven in win Espino (4-4) picked up the win in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits over five innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
Impact He kept New York off balance through 68 pitches (49 strikes), and Espino's only real mistake resulted in a Javier Baez solo shot in the fourth inning. The right-hander has yet to complete six innings in a start since joining the Nats' rotation, but he'll take a respectable 4.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 65:15 K:BB through 80.2 innings into his next outing.

Escapes with no-decision Saturday Espino didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Brewers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.
Impact The outing was a mixed bag for Espino, as he tied his season high for strikeouts but failed to complete five innings once again. The right-hander also served up another homer, a first-inning solo shot by Christian Yelich, and over his last nine appearances and 35.2 innings, Espino has a 6.31 ERA fueled by a 2.52 HR/9.

Charged with fourth loss Espino allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings to take the loss against Atlanta on Sunday.
Impact Espino pitched just one inning in his last start since the game was suspended and resumed the next day, and he struggled to get things going against Atlanta on Sunday. He allowed three runs across the first four innings before giving up solo homers to each of the first two batters he faced in the fifth. The righty has now taken losses in two of his three starts in August, and he's posted a 10.80 ERA and 2.10 WHIP in 10 innings during that time. Espino tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Milwaukee on Saturday.

Falls to Phillies Espino (3-3) took the loss Wednesday as the Nationals were downed 9-5 by the Phillies, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.
Impact The right-hander came into Wednesday having not allowed more than three runs in any outing this season, but after being staked to an early 3-0 lead, Espino couldn't keep the Phillies off the bases. The 34-year-old is also having trouble keeping the ball in the yard, serving up six homers over his last 26.1 innings including a Rhys Hoskins blast in this one. Espino still sports a 3.66 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 66.1 frames on the season, but further regression could be coming in a hurry.
