Credited with win Tuesday
King (2-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Nationals, tossing 1.2 perfect innings of relief. He didn't strike out a batter.
Analyse
Lake Bachar got the start on a bullpen day for Miami and worked into the third inning before handing the ball to King, who needed just 26 pitches (14 strikes) to record his five outs. The southpaw wound up being credited with the win after Ryan Gusto, the pitcher who replaced him, coughed up three runs in two frames. King has been scored upon only once in his last seven appearances, posting a 2.25 ERA and 0.50 WHIP in eight innings over that stretch despite a lackluster 4:1 K:BB as he fills a flexible middle-relief role for the Marlins.

Takes loss as opener
King (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
Analyse
King opened the game and took the loss, as he was charged with two of the 10 runs the Mets scored against the Marlins in a bullpen game. The southpaw owns a 2.52 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB with three holds and one save across 25 innings this season, and Sunday's appearance was likely a one-off while the Marlins sort through their depleted rotation.

Drawing start in bullpen game
King is slated to serve as the Marlins' opener for Sunday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Janson Junk had been set to start Sunday but was a late scratch before being placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right shin injury. King will make his first MLB start in what will be a bullpen day for Miami. The southpaw hasn't recorded more than four outs or thrown more than 20 pitches in any appearance this season, so he shouldn't be expected to work more than an inning or two.
