Nationals' Ben Braymer: Impressive in first MLB start
Ben Braymer (1-0) allowed one hit and three walks over five scoreless innings in a win over the Marlins in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader. He struck out four.Braymer totaled just 2.1 innings in his first two big-league appearances, but the Washington Nationals turned him loose for 86 pitches Sunday, and the lefty went deep enough into the game to earn his first career win. An 18th-round pick in 2016, Braymer does not have overpowering stuff and did not generate much hype during his rise through the minor-league ranks. However, this performance may earn him another start next weekend with the Nationals firmly out of the playoff picture and their back-end regulars (namely Anibal Sanchez and Austin Voth) struggling mightily.

Nationals' Ben Braymer: Starting Sunday's nightcap
Ben Braymer will start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.The 26-year-old will make a spot start to close out Sunday's twin bill, as Max Scherzer takes the mound in Game 1. Braymer mostly worked as a starter in the minors but covered only seven outs across his two outings this season, so he'll likely be serving as the first leg of a bullpen game.

Nationals' Ben Braymer: Could make spot start Sunday
Ben Braymer could serve as a starter or primary pitcher Sunday in one game of the Washington Nationals' doubleheader with the Marlins, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.Washington is expected to have one of its regular rotation members start one half of the twin bill, while manager Dave Martinez intends to treat the other contest as more of a bullpen game. Braymer hasn't recorded more than four outs in either of his two relief appearances with Washington this season, but Dougherty notes that he's currently stretched out to handle about 50-to-60 pitches. If a bullpen game is in fact on tap for Sunday's doubleheader, Braymer would rank as the better candidates to absorb the most innings for the Nationals.
