Rauch, who is one of five pitchers vying for three spots in the Nationals rotation, took the loss in the 8-6 game.

In the inning, Rauch loaded the bases with two walks and a single by Astros shortstop Chris Burke.

Then outfielder Charlton Jimerson, who made his major league debut last season with one game as a defensive substitute but no at-bats, sent a Rauch fastball over the right-center field fence — well more than 400 feet away — for a grand slam.

"I got tired, it's been months since I've gone more than three innings," Rauch said of his 62-pitch performance.

"I feel like I got tired and it showed with my pitching.

The ball stayed up in the zone and a lot more stuff got hit and I couldn't locate anymore." The 6-foot-11 Rauch has allowed four home runs in 61/3 innings this spring.

Yesterday, he gave up five runs on five hits in 31/3 innings.

He struck out three and walked three.
