 It was the first time in seven years the Nationals have had a pitcher go eight shutout innings allowing one hit or less. And it couldn't have come at a better time. The Nationals are in the midst of this 17-game stretch with no off days between now and the All-Star break. The bullpen was gassed. They had three relievers unavailable yesterday. All the back-end guys. So for Irvin, basically to bridge the gap to the ninth inning was a huge performance for the club. And if you're on the other side of your Jose Quintana, it's probably the best game you've pitched all year. You got nothing for it. And Hauser, kind of, Winker's been a nemesis for him.
