Speaking of young guys, the Marlins are set to start 20-year-old rookie right-hander Eury Perez on Thursday. "I want to take care of these young guys." "It's definitely in the back of my mind," Martinez said this week. But Martinez acknowledged that there is another way to protect his younger pitchers - a six-man rotation. Nationals manager Dave Martinez would surely love for Williams to go deeper into games.
Williams and 33-year-old Patrick Corbin are the veterans of a Washington rotation that includes pitchers on the other end of the age spectrum such as MacKenzie Gore, 24, and Josiah Gray, 25. But Williams is averaging fewer than five innings per start, and his season high is six frames at the Twins on April 21. The Nationals are 5-3 with an active three-game win streak in Williams' eight starts this year. In nine career appearances against the Marlins, including four starts, Williams is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA. He made his MLB debut with the Pirates one year later. However, the Marlins traded him to the Pirates in 2015.
Williams, a 31-year-old native of San Diego, was Miami's second-round pick in 2013 out of Arizona State. Washington will be looking to avoid a three-game sweep. May 18 - Right-hander Trevor Williams, who is on his fourth team in four years, is set to start for the Washington Nationals against the host Miami Marlins in the series finale on Thursday afternoon.
