Detwiler will get another start

It appears that Nationals left-hander Ross Detwiler will start Saturday afternoon's game against the Braves. On Monday, Detwiler pitched six innings and won his first Major League game against the Mets. It appeared he was done at a combined 147 1/3 innings, but the Nationals thought he had enough innings left in him to get a another start.

However, Colorado won Thursday afternoon to eliminate Atlanta from the playoff race. "We want to see him get one more start under his belt before he shuts it down for the year," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "It has been really interesting and really exciting to see how his composure has improved. His command has improved -- just the whole package of what he brings to the table."
