Washington Nationals starter Mitchell Parker figured that after eight innings and 99 pitches, his job was done Tuesday night. So there the left-hander didn’t see a need to plead with or cajole manager Dave Martinez to extend the longest outing of his major league career.

Parker allowed one hit in eight sterling innings as the Nats returned home with a lopsided victory.

Mitchell Parker gave up just one hit across 8.0 scoreless innings against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, etching his name into the Washington Nationals' history books.
