Austen Williams got some time in the big leagues last season, then was lights out for the Nationals in spring training. (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)One day after another bullpen collapse, the Washington Nationals called up reliever Austen Williams from Class AAA Fresno. The Nationals could use Williams in multiple roles, whether against specific batters or for an inning-plus, Manager Dave Martinez said. His performance with the Grizzlies was a stark departure from his spring training showing. Williams mowed through hitters in West Palm Beach, allowing two hits, walking none and striking out seven in 7⅔ innings.
