Nats close trip with a loss but have Stephen Strasburg lined up to start Friday vs. O’s

In total, Ross threw 31 sliders, 21 sinkers, 16 four-seam fastballs and 10 change-ups. A handful of his sliders were off the plate glove-side (in to lefties, away to righties). A handful of his fastballs were too high in the zone (a recurring issue). The fourth inning, his last of the afternoon, was fine until Trevor Williams, the Cubs’ starter, poked a two-out single to left. He did so on a hanging slider. Ross faced a final batter, gave up an RBI single to Joc Pederson to make it 4-2, and that was it.
