Grace tossed 4.1 shutout innings and allowed two hits and a walk with one strikeout but settled for a no-decision in a spot start Friday against San Diego.
Max Scherzer was placed on the disabled list just before Friday's game, opening the door for Grace to get the nod, but Scherzer is only expected to miss one more start. The Nationals have yet to announce who will take his spot in the rotation next time around. Grace made a good case for himself, but the Nationals may choose to call up a minor-league starter whose arm has been stretched out a bit more.
