Clarke struck out six and gave up three runs on seven hits and no walks across 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday.
Staked to a two-run lead in the top of the first inning, Clarke allowed three runs in the bottom of the first inning on a sacrifice fly and solo homers by Juan Soto and Matt Adams. The right-hander then shut out the Nationals until he was removed with two outs in the fifth after 97 pitches. The 26-year-old has won only one of his six starts and has a 5.34 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP with a 25:9 K:BB for the season. Clarke is next slated to face the Giants at home Friday.
