Eickhoff fired six scoreless innings but did not factor into the decision against the Nationals on Saturday, giving up five hits and two walks. He also struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The two teams were locked in a scoreless stalemate until Bryce Harper's eighth-inning three-run homer, leaving Eickhoff with no chance at a decision despite one of his strongest outings of the season. The 26-year-old has rattled off four straight quality starts and has not surrendered a homer in the last three trips to the mound. Eickhoff has emerged from a couple of rough patches throughout the season to turn in largely quality work for one of the most toothless offenses in the majors, and will look to get back in the win column against the Pirates next Thursday.
