Nationals' Jake Irvin: Can't get through six frames
Jake Irvin did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss to Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out three.Irvin allowed the leadoff man to reach in each of the first two innings to open the contest but managed to escape without allowing any damage on both occasions.

Irvin was then relieved by Robert Garcia with no outs in the frame, and Garcia allowed back-tb-back hits.
