Andrew Cashner throws fifth straight quality start

Padres starting pitcher Andrew Cashner threw his fifth straight quality start in Sunday's game against the Marlins but did not factor into the decision in the 6-2 loss. He allowed just two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three and also bunted for a base hit in the game, raising his batting average to .292.

Cashner is just 1-0 in his last five starts despite the quality-start streak. He takes a 5-3 record and 3.31 ERA into Friday's matchup against the Nationals.
