Nationals' Shinnosuke Ogasawara: Still shaky in second start
Shinnosuke Ogasawara allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Saturday.Ogasawara threw 56 pitches (34 strikes) in his second major-league start. It was a better performance than his debut against Boston last week -- he kept the ball in the yard and wasn't responsible for the loss, as the Washington Nationals covered his poor fourth inning with three runs over the final two frames. The southpaw has now allowed seven runs across 6.2 innings in the majors, adding a 4:1 K:BB. It remains to be seen if Ogasawara will stick in the rotation after the All-Star break, but the Nationals have a spot to let him work if he can prove himself up to the challenge.

Nationals' Shinnosuke Ogasawara: Awarded another start
Shinnosuke Ogasawara is slated to start Saturday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.With Trevor Williams (elbow) hitting the injured list last week with a season-ending UCL tear, Ogasawara was summoned from Triple-A Rochester to fill the opening in the rotation. The 27-year-old proceeded to get thrashed in his MLB debut last Sunday, surrendering four earned runs on seven hits and no walks over 2.2 innings in a loss to the Red Sox. With prospect Cade Cavalli (14 earned runs allowed over his last two starts) struggling at Triple-A, the Washington Nationals don't have many appealing alternatives for their fifth starter spot, so Ogasawara will receive at least one more turn as he looks to build a case for sticking around with the big club coming out of the All-Star break.
