EDGE Analysis

The left-hander gave up as many hits in his first nine pitches as Max Scherzer did in his eight innings, but Doolittle quickly settled down after picking off Craig Gentry trying to steal third base for his first out. The Nats closer now has a 1.78 ERA and minuscule 0.63 WHIP through 24 appearances and 25.1 innings.
