Jake Irvin

Looking to build off an MLB debut last week that saw him go into the fifth inning but come away with a no-decision, Washington Nationals starter Jake Irvin left nothing to chance on Monday night’s tilt vs. San Francisco. The 26-year-old was on his game - firing 6.1 scoreless innings while striking out five Giants hitters. “I absolutely loved watching him pitch, I really did,” said manager Dave Martinez on his young pitcher’s first career victory.
