He split the 2007 season between the Volcanoes and San Jose Giants, going a combined 5-1 with a 1.31 ERA in 15 games. In 341⁄3 innings, he struck out 57 batters. In 2008, he played for the San Jose Giants, going 13-7 with a 3.19 ERA in 26 games started. He struck out 135 batters in 1351⁄3 innings of work.

Washington Nationals

Although he had never pitched above AA, he performed well enough to make the Nationals in spring training, and made his debut on April 5, 2010—opening day—against the Philadelphia Phillies, pitching 1.1 innings in an 11-1 loss. After John Lannan was racked with seven hits, and issuing three walks, and allowing five runs in 3.2 innings, English entered the game with the bases loaded and slugger Ryan Howard at the plate. Howard grounded out to end the inning, and English retired the side in order the following inning. [2] [3]

English pitched well in April, accumulating a 3.86 ERA, and holding left-handed hitters to a .188 batting average. But injuries to position players forced the Nationals to call up position players, and so he was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse at the end of the month. [2]
