He last pitched on 5/4 in Salem against the Red Sox and suffered his third loss of the year after giving up four runs on seven hits over six innings pitched. The start marked the second straight game (and third overall) where Clark had pitched through the sixth inning in a start this season. Clark worked through 11 innings with only two earned runs allowed over his two starts prior to facing the Red Sox on 5/4... RHP Boone Whiting gets the game two start for the visiting Nationals.
