Keeps Nationals in check
Junk took a no-decision against the Nationals on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Analyse
Junk did a fine job of keeping the ball on the ground, inducing seven groundouts Sunday, but the two hits allowed both went for extra bases. The 30-year-old right-hander hasn't exhibited much strikeout upside lately, fanning two or fewer in four consecutive starts, though he has given up two runs or fewer in six straight outings. Junk is set to bring a middling 4.25 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 68:26 K:BB over 97.1 innings into a road rematch with Washington.

Goes five innings in loss
Junk (6-8) took the loss against Philadelphia on Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over five innings.
Analyse
Both of the runs Junk allowed came in the third inning, when he walked two batters and yielded three hits. The left-hander was inefficient overall, needing 88 pitches to get through five frames, but he still managed to keep Miami in the contest against All-Star Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez. Junk has given up two or fewer runs in each of his past five starts, posting a strong 2.28 ERA with a 15:6 K:BB over 23.2 innings during that stretch. He's lined up to make his next appearance at home against Washington.
