Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Jason Bergmann gave up 10 runs — six earned — in the Nationals’ loss to the Mets on Wednesday night. Bergmann allowed eight hits and six walks in one of his worst starts of the year. An eight-run third was the biggest dagger, but he didn’t look good in any of the innings he pitched. Bergmann’s season-long lack of run support continued, as the Nationals were creamed, 12-0, but Bergmann didn’t help himself by setting a new career high in runs. His ERA rose to 4.51 and his record now sits at 2-9. Far and away the worst outing of the season for Bergmann, the man still has an ERA under 5.00 after this fiasco. He’d been pitching pretty well prior to Wednesday and we certainly don’t expect a repeat of this performance next week. That said, he pitches for the Nationals so wins will always be hard to come by. He is a two-start pitcher in Fantasy Week 21 (Aug. 18-24) but that makes him a viable option in only the deepest of mixed Fantasy leagues. His next scheduled start comes Tuesday at the Phillies and he’ll finish the week at the Cubs. (Rotoworld, Rotowire, CBS Sports)
