Yes, he was very sharp this afternoon, and had to be with the offense again not showing up. (Dallas Beeler?) But Gio had good stuff and good command today. He looked much more like what he was over the season's first five weeks before the month-long stint on the disabled list. Good for the Nats if he gets locked in again.
> ....and Espinoza still sucks....
Well, he sucks as a hitter. On a scale of 1-10, however, his defense is an 11. If he can't hit, the best scenario would be that the rest of the lineup hits well enough to carry him. With Harper coming back though, that doesn't look like the path ahead. Harper goes to LF, Zimmerman goes back to 3B, and Rendon to 2B. Espinosa becomes a guy who gets mixed in when and where useful. No longer a starter.
