Irvin came away with a no-decision in Sunday's win against the Phillies, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin was not at his best Sunday, allowing eight hits and matching his season-worst with three home runs allowed. Luckily for Irvin, all three long balls were solo shots, limiting the damage against a potent Phillies lineup. The 27-year-old's performance has slipped since the All-Star break -- Irvin owns a 4.89 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB with 10 home runs allowed in 35 innings since the intermission. Irvin will look to right the ship in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend in Atlanta.

Irvin (9-10) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings

EDGE Analysis

Irvin allowed two runs over his first three innings but rebounded with three scoreless frames to earn his second quality start in five chances since the All-Star break. It was an encouraging effort after the righty surrendered nine earned runs over his previous two outings, but he did allow his 11th homer since the calendar flipped to July. On the season, the 27-year-old owns a 3.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 122:34 K:BB across 145 innings and lines up to face the Phillies this weekend.

Irvin (8-10) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Yastrzemski popped a solo shot off the right-hander in the fourth inning before Heliot Ramos and Matt Chapman both took him deep in the fifth. Issues keeping the ball in the yard are nothing new for Irvin -- he's been tagged for multiple homers in four of his last six trips to the mound, and over that stretch he's seen his ERA on the season rise from 2.80 to 3.76. Irvin could have a tough time turning things around in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Baltimore.

Irvin (8-9) took the loss Friday as the Nationals were downed 8-3 by the Brewers, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander managed to keep the ball in the park after serving up seven homers over his prior four starts, but it was still another mediocre performance from Irvin. While he tossed 72 of his 110 pitches for strikes, his command within the zone remains shaky, and three of the six hits off him went for extra bases. Over his last five outings, Irvin has stumbled to a 6.43 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 28 innings. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Giants.

Irvin (8-8) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The two runs on his line came on a Willson Contreras home run in the sixth inning, but the Nationals had already established a large lead. Irvin has allowed four runs over 12.1 innings across two starts since the All-Star break after struggling in his last two outings prior to the intermission. He's now at a 3.44 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 111:30 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 22 starts this season. Irvin's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.

Irvin didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Cincinnati, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin entered Sunday's start having allowed six earned runs in back-to-back appearances, but he rebounded with a seven-inning quality start. However, the left-hander did yield multiple home runs, surrendering solo shots to Noelvi Marte and Stuart Fairchild. In 123.0 innings, Irvin has a 3.44 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. He's on track to face the Cardinals in St. Louis next weekend.

Irvin (7-8) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

After a nine-start stretch in which he allowed more than two runs just once, Irvin has been tagged for 13 runs (12 earned) across his last two outings. The right-hander's ERA ticked up to 3.49 with a 1.11 WHIP and 99:29 K:BB through 116 innings over 20 starts this season. He's shown significant improvement in his second big-league campaign, but it'll be important to keep an eye on how he holds up during the second half.

Irvin (7-7) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up six runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings as the Nationals fell 7-5 to the Mets. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander dominated the Mets on July 4, but the Nats' NL East rivals got some revenge in the rematch, with a three-run homer by Brandon Nimmo in the second inning and a two-run blast by Francisco Lindor in the sixth accounting for most of the damage off Irvin. He hadn't served up multiple homers in a start since May 22, while the six runs allowed tied his season high. Irvin will take a 3.13 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 96:26 K:BB through 112 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road in Milwaukee this weekend.

Irvin (7-6) earned the win Thursday against the Mets. He allowed one hit and one walk over eight scoreless innings with eight strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin was brilliant Thursday as he threw a career-high eight innings to grab his seventh win. After giving up a one-out single to Jeff McNeil in the third, Irvin went on to retire the final 17 batters he faced. He became the first Nationals pitcher to throw eight shutout innings since Joe Ross in June 2021. The 27-year-old has registered a quality start in eight of his last nine appearances. He is making a case for a spot in the All-Star Game with his 2.80 ERA, which is ranked 10th in the majors.

Irvin (6-6) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out five batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Irvin served up a solo homer to Brandon Lowe in the first inning, but that was the only run -- and only hit -- he allowed in the contest. The right-hander recorded his seventh quality start over his past eight outings, and he's posted an excellent 2.09 ERA and 0.93 WHIP during that span. Irvin didn't seem like he'd be a fantasy factor this year after posting a 4.61 ERA and 1.42 WHIP as a rookie last season, but he's instead provided strong ratios with a 3.03 ERA and 1.06 WHIP along with an 86:23 K:BB across 98 frames.
