Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg surrendered four earned runs on five hits and two walks in six innings while striking out 10 in his team's 9-7, 10-inning win over the Mets on Opening Day Monday.
Strasburg had a rough start to the season, giving up three runs in the first inning and another in the second, but settled down and mowed through the Mets lineup over his final four frames. He figures to contend for the Cy Young award if he remains healthy this season. Strasburg is set to make his next start Saturday against the Braves.
