Jake Irvin - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Handed loss in piggyback role Saturday Irvin (2-10) took the loss Saturday, giving up five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks over five innings of relief as the Nationals were downed 7-1 by the Mets. He stru...

Impact Piggybacking with Connelly Early in the southpaw's Washington debut, Irvin inherited a 1-0 lead but couldn't make it hold up, serving up seventh-inning homers to A.J. Ewing and Ronny Mauricio. Irvin ends the campaign having lost all six of his decisions since returning from a shoulder strain in late July, stumbling to a 5.73 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB over 55 innings in that span while getting tagged for 13 homers.

Fans eight in no-decision Irvin took a no-decision Sunday against the Cardinals, striking out eight while allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in 5.1 innings.

Impact Irvin gave up only three knocks on the afternoon, though two of which went for extra bases. The eight punchouts were his most since April 25 against the White Sox, which was also the last time the right-hander didn't issue a walk prior to Sunday. He's lined up to take the ball in the regular-season finale against the division-rival Mets, holding a 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 104:46 K:BB across 101.2 innings.

Not starting Sunday Irvin will no longer start Sunday's game against the Angels as previously scheduled, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact The Nationals will instead go with an opener, Riley Cornelio, to begin the series finale. There's been no report of an injury to this point, so it's possible Irvin will still be available to work in bulk relief. However, it's worth noting that it would be the first appearance out of the bullpen in the 29-year-old's MLB career. After missing all of June and most of July due to a shoulder injury, Irvin has gone 0-5 with a 5.90 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32:20 K:BB over 39.2 frames in eight starts since coming off the IL.

Falls just shy of quality start Irvin (2-9) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings in a loss to San Diego on Monday.

Impact Irvin had a rough beginning to his outing, giving up three runs over the first three innings. However, he clamped down from there and held the Padres scoreless for the remainder of his time in the game. Irvin got very close to a quality start, retiring the first two batters he faced in the fifth before walking Xander Bogaerts, who turned out to be the final batter he faced. The right-hander recorded just nine whiffs among his 102 pitches and notched just three punchouts, but he did manage to give Washington a little more length after tossing less than five frames in each of his previous two outings. Irvin is scheduled to next take the mound at home versus the Angels.

No-decision against Atlanta Irvin allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five across four innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Tuesday.

Impact Irvin gave up a solo homer to Ozzie Albies in the second inning before yielding another run in the third. Irvin was pulled in the fifth inning after giving up back-to-back singles without recording an out, and it's a second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete five innings, finishing Tuesday's outing with 86 pitches (57 strikes) and nine whiffs. Irvin is 0-4 over his last seven starts with a 6.09 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB over 34 innings. He's lined up to face the Padres next week in what projects to be a two-start week for Irvin.

Issues six walks in no-decision Irvin did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Rockies, allowing a run on three hits and six walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact While he held Colorado to a lone run Thursday, Irvin left the game before he could qualify for the win after he threw 94 pitches, just 53 for strikes, while issuing a season-high six walks. Despite his spotty command, it could still be considered a step in the right direction for Irvin, who had struggled to a 7.01 ERA across 25.2 innings in his previous five starts. Overall, the right-hander is 2-8 with a 5.62 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 82:39 K:BB across 17 starts (81.2 innings) this season. Irvin's currently in line to face Atlanta at home his next time out.

Hit hard in Saturday's loss Irvin (2-8) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings as the Nationals fell 4-2 to the Marlins. He struck out four.

Impact Half the hits off Irvin went for extra bases, including solo homers by Heriberto Hernandez in the second inning and Jakob Marsee in the fourth. Keeping the ball in the yard has been an issue for the right-hander since he returned from the IL in late July -- Irvin's served up seven homers in 25.2 innings over five outings, leading to a 7.01 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 18:11 K:BB and an 0-4 record. He'll try to get on track in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Rockies.

Season-long outing in seventh win Irvin (2-7) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Impact Most of the damage came during New York's three-run fourth inning, and three of Irvin's hits allowed on the afternoon went for extra bases. The right-hander may have turned in his longest outing of the season Sunday, but he remains without a single quality start through 15 appearances on the year. Irvin, who has been taken deep at least once in each of his last four starts, will bring a 5.80 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 72:31 K:BB over 71.1 innings into his next scheduled outing in Miami.
