Freeland went 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Friday, giving up one run on four hits while striking out four and walking three.
Freeland hadn't allowed a run through four innings, and the run he did give up in the fifth came from a sacrifice fly off the bat of Bryce Harper with the bases loaded. It could have been much worse. Freeland pitched well but threw a lot of pitches (101), which prevented him from going deeper into the game. The young lefty is not a preeminent strikeout guy (6.17 K/9 last year) but so far has 15 strikeouts in 16 innings this year. He'll look for his first win next week against the Pirates.
