Nationals Pitching Shuffle and Waldron Debut | Washington Nationals News

The Nationals’ pitching is finally finding its footing as Andrew Alvarez shines with a 3.00 ERA in August and rookie Jackson Kent gets his first starts. Brad Lord, after a stint as an opener, has returned to his bullpen role — where he’s excelled, shutting down a dangerous hitter in a key spot Tuesday. Manager Blake Butera trusts him in high-leverage moments, and Lord’s delivery helped keep the team alive. The club also acquired Matt Waldron from Toronto, set to start Wednesday against the Rockies — ready for any role after bouncing between starter and reliever this season. Offensively, they’re struggling, losing five of six, but Daylen Lile’s hot streak offers hope as both he and Waldron aim to turn things around.
