Marlins starting pitcher Nate Eovaldi (2-5) tossed a quality start in a losing effort Tuesday night against the Nationals. The right-hander surrendered two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings of a 2-1 defeat.

Eovaldi has not won a start since July 12 and has allowed four earned runs combined over his last two starts (13 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Sunday at Atlanta. He tossed seven scoreless innings in his previous meeting on Aug. 10.
