Despite giving up three homers and not feeling great on the mound, Iwakuma held the Nationals to three runs over six innings, striking out six with zero walks. Iwakuma was pitching on extra rest, and was also coming off his worst outing of the season. "Well I didn't feel very good on the mound," Iwakuma said. "I didn't have a very good feel on the ball today. I kind of struggled, but I was able to change speeds, mix pitches and get out of jams."‬
