5 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg gave up nine runs in 4 2/3 innings Saturday, taking the loss as Washington fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 18-7. Strasburg was coming off of July NL Pitcher of the Month honors, but you wouldn't know it from the nine hits, two walks, and three home runs he allowed. Nonetheless this is more likely to be a blip on the radar than anything. Strasburg faces the Mets in New York next, where it's an easy decision to keep him entrenched in the active lineup.--Nathaniel Green
