Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg was done in by home runs Friday against the Brewers.
Strasburg allowed four runs on seven hits over seven innings of work. He struck out nine and walked just one during the outing. Two home runs really hurt Strasburg early. In the first inning, he gave up a solo shot to Scooter Gennett. Khris Davis added to the fun in the second, popping another solo shot. Aramis Ramirez was able to plate two runs in the third on a soft single.
Despite the poor early performance, Strasburg was able to get his act together. He went on to pitch four scoreless innings. Strasburg threw just 98 pitches during the start.
The loss dropped Strasburg to 7-7 on the year. His next start is slated to come against the Rockies.
