McFarland picked up the win in relief during Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Nationals, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings and striking out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

McFarland was called upon for his second appearance of the season with the Diamondbacks with two outs in the fifth inning after starter Taijuan Walker needed 117 pitches to record 14 outs. The long reliever was able to record the final out of the inning and then worked a perfect sixth inning to pick up the win after the Diamondbacks reclaimed the lead in the top half of the frame. While it was a quality performance from McFarland, he'll still likely need to put together several strong relief outings in a row before seeing consistent high-leverage work.
