Williams (7-7) got the win Wednesday, tossing five shutout innings with three strikeouts while allowing four hits and three walks against the Nationals.
Williams didn't last long enough to qualify for a quality start, needing 81 pitches (48 strikes) just to get through five frames, but it was still a nice bounce-back effort after he yielded nine runs over seven innings combined his last two times out. The righty doesn't have overpowering stuff, as evidenced by his 71 strikeouts over 99 innings (6.5 K/9), so he's a bit more dependent on going deeper in games to turn in productive outings for fantasy owners. The 26-year-old heads into the All-Star break with a 4.36 ERA.
