Ross covered five innings and gave up four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to the Mets, a game Washington and New York resumed Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was technically making his first relief appearance of the season, as he stepped in to replace starter Paolo Espino, who pitched the first inning Tuesday before the contest was suspended in the top of the second due to inclement weather. Though Washington staked him to a 4-1 lead by the time he took the mound, Ross didn't hold up to his end of the bargain, as the Mets plated three runs in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game. Ross was still in line for the win after departing in the bottom of the seventh with Washington up 7-5, but the Nationals bullpen blew the two-run advantage to saddle him with a no-decision. Ross is expected to work as a traditional starter in his next outing, which will likely come Tuesday at home versus the Blue Jays.
