Jake Irvin Picks up Third Win Against Orioles
Jake Irvin yielded five hits and two earned runs over 6 1/3 innings in his team's 10-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He struck out six and issued one free pass to pick up his fifth quality start and improve to 3-1 in ten starts. The 28-year-old was able to make it through six innings unscathed, but began to unravel when he returned to the mound for the bottom of the seventh. An Adley Rutschman double kicked off that frame, and Irvin would only be able to get Cedric Mullins to ground out before two hits and an error pushed across two runs. Still, it was another strong performance for him as he's gone six or more innings and yielded three or fewer runs in seven of his starts. However, it's worth noting that those didn't always coincide. He'll carry a serviceable 3.88 ERA and 1.16 WHIP into a home matchup against the San Francisco Giants his next time out.
