Irvin (5-2) took the loss Thursday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings. Irvin added a tally in the loss column for the first time in six starts and failed to complete six innings for a second straight outing. Before that, Irvin had tossed six innings in seven of his previous eight appearances. In 13 starts this season, Irvin owns a 4.02 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP and a 50:22 K:BB over 78.1 innings. He's on track to face the Mets in New York next time out.
Irvin (5-1) allowed six runs on 10 hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over five innings, earning the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday. Arizona scored four times in the first inning and twice more in the third, but that was just to keep pace with Washington's offense. Irvin has won three starts in a row despite matching his season high in runs allowed in this outing. He's maintained a 3.93 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 73.1 innings across 12 starts in 2025. The right-hander is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Cubs.
Irvin (4-1) picked up the win Saturday, scattering three hits and two walks over eight scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Giants. He struck out seven. San Francisco only got one runner into scoring position all day against the right-hander, leading off the fourth inning with a single followed by an error, and Irvin promptly squashed the rally by coaxing a double-play grounder out of Matt Chapman and striking out Willy Adames. Irvin tossed 64 of 96 pitches for strikes in his longest outing of the season, and the quality start was his third straight and his sixth of the year. He'll take a 3.42 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB through 68.1 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Arizona.
Irvin (3-1) earned the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 6.1 innings. Irvin was given a six-run cushion in the first inning and ran with it, tossing six scoreless frames before allowing two runs in the seventh. In three May outings, the 28-year-old has allowed seven earned runs and logged two quality starts, though he's managed just seven total strikeouts in that span. On the season, he owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB across 60.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.
Irvin did not factor into Monday's decision against Atlanta, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one over six innings. Irvin put Washington behind after giving up two runs in the third inning before yielding a solo homer to Marcell Ozuna in the fifth. It was the fourth time this season that Irvin gave up seven hits or more, but he was able to limit the damage to three runs and came away with his fourth quality start of the season. He has a 4.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB across 54 innings this year, and his next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Orioles.
Irvin came away with a no-decision in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He failed to strike out a batter. The right-hander didn't have his best stuff, inducing only five swinging strikes over 95 pitches (61 total strikes), but Irvin was able to minimize the damage and actually left the mound in line for a win, only for the Washington bullpen to fall apart in an eventual 10-9 win for the Nats. Irvin will take a 3.94 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB through 48 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Atlanta.
Irvin won't make his scheduled start Monday against the Guardians after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports. Irvin has been named the starter for Game 1 of his team's doubleheader Tuesday following the announcement that Monday's game has been postponed. He'll look to bounce back from his worst outing of the 2025 season, surrendering six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings against the Phillies on Wednesday.
Irvin (2-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies after allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out two. Irvin struggled in a tough matchup in Philadelphia, yielding a season-high eight knocks and six earned runs. The right-hander also tied season worsts with three walks and two punchouts, posting just five whiffs Wednesday. However, Irvin still managed to toss at least six innings in his fifth straight outing, so he'll look to continue providing length for the Nationals in his next scheduled appearance versus the Guardians. He owns a respectable 4.01 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 33:11 K:BB across 42.2 innings in 2025.
Irvin did not factor into the decision Friday against the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 7.1 innings. He struck out four. Irvin held the Mets off the board through seven innings before the Nats' bullpen allowed an inherited run to score in the eighth. The 28-year-old Irvin has been stellar in his last three outings, allowing just three runs on 11 hits across 20.2 innings in that span. His ERA is down to 3.19 through six starts (36.2 innings) this year with a 1.01 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB. Irvin will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week in Philadelphia.
