Marlins starting pitcher Nate Eovaldi twirled another start on Monday against Nationals, improving to 4-2 on the year in his team's 3-2 victory in Washington.

Eovaldi tossed five scoreless frames before serving up a two-run home run to Adam LaRoche in the sixth inning for his only blemish of the day. He pitched 6 1/3 innings and yielded two runs on three hits, with one walk and five strikeouts. Of his 106 pitches, 67 were strikes.

Over his last seven starts covering 41 1/3 innings, Eovaldi has allowed 14 earned runs. He owns a 3.36 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP in 11 starts (67 innings). He'll look to keep things rolling Sunday at home against Atlanta.
