Irvin stumbled out of the gates, allowing the bases to be loaded with zero out in the opening frame. He managed to limit the damage to two runs by inducing a pair of fielders choices, but Irvin ran into trouble again in the fifth inning. The right-hander loaded the bases with zero out, allowing a pair of runs to score on a Kyle Schwarber single and later a Weston Wilson double, giving the Phillies a 6-1 advantage. The 27-year-old Irvin finishes his second professional campaign with a respectable 4.41 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 156:52 K:BB in 187.2 innings (33 starts). Irvin will look to improve his consistency next season after he limped to the finish line in 2024, pitching to a 5.90 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 57:23 K:BB in 71.2 post All-Star break innings.
