On a wet infield in the nation’s capital on Saturday, the Washington Nationals played a really sloppy inning of baseball in the top of the first, with two errors behind starter Jake Irvin, and a walk, a pair of singles, and a two-run double (not in that order) leading to four (unearned) runs for the Toronto Blue Jays in what ended up a 6-3 win for the visiting team.
Irvin settled in after that and held the Jays off the board through the next four innings, with four strikeouts in a 107-pitch, 69-strike outing, in which he recorded six swinging strikes and collected a total of 20 called strikes (nine on his fastball, five each on his sinker and curve, and one on his cutter).
