Joe Ross struggles in Nationals’ 5-3 loss to the Padres; Chris Speier on what went wrong for Ross...

Joe Ross didnt make it through the fifth inning in the Nationals 5-3 loss to the Padres... The enthusiasm which followed Joe Rosss return to the Nationals rotation last week was tempered somewhat by his outing on Sunday in Washingtons 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. The problems which preceded his trip to Triple-A Syracuse last month were present again as Ross struggled with command of his sinker and slider, ran out of gas in the fifth inning, and had his velocity fall off again late in his outing.
