Nationals Win Road Series Against Diamondbacks, Here's What Stood Out The Washington Nationals headed out west on the heels of a series sweep against the Miami Marlins. That team has been a thorn in their side...
Griffin Jax - No-decision vs. Miami Jax did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Marlins, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings.
Impact It was a nice bounce-back performance from Jax after allowing three home runs in his last outing against the Tigers this past Monday. He tossed 37 strikes on 62 pitches Sunday while generating nine whiffs, and it was the third time this season that he completed five frames, all of which have come over his last five starts. Jax sits at a 4.15 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB across 39 innings this season, and his next start is slated for next weekend on the road against the Angels.

In that six-game span, he has gone 10-for-26 (.385) with four extra-base hits, two RBI and four runs scored.

Bender ended up tossing 24 pitches, 10 of which came in his strikeout of Cedric Mullins to seal the game for Miami. Bender sits at a 3.04 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, five holds and a 29:9 K:BB across 26.2 innings this season.
