Despaigne (0-3) took the loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing only one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out two.
It was his longest outing since moving into the rotation and his second quality start in his last three trips to the mound, but a lack of run support prevented Despaigne from being rewarded for his efforts. Despite his recent performances, he still has a meager 6:6 K:BB over those last three starts and 17 innings, making him a low-upside fantasy play Sunday in a road start against the Braves.
