Williams did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Twins. He struck out four.
The six innings were a season high for Williams. He has pitched at least five innings in all four of his starts, and his move to Washington's rotation has been a success so far --- the 30-year-old has a 3.38 ERA with a 13:4 K:BB in 21.1 innings. He is tentatively scheduled to face the Mets in his next outing.
