Royals' Kris Medlen: Pummeled by Nats on Wednesday

Medlen gave up nine runs -- six earned -- on six hits over two innings in a start against the Nats on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Not surprisingly, he took the loss, dropping his season record to 1-3 in the process. Medlen has struggled with his control throughout his first five appearances this season, and he now sits with 17 walks in 22.1 innings over five starts. Even with his control woes, Medlen has held his own in three of his first five starts this season, likely keeping him in the mix as a starter in the coming weeks. He'll face the Yankees on the road in his next turn Tuesday, before a second start May 15 against Atlanta.
