Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg earned his second straight win Wednesday after giving up four runs (two earned) on seven hits in seven innings while striking out 11 in his team's 8-4 victory over the Phillies.
Strasburg (5-4) hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a start since April 15. The Phillies scored two runs in a fifth inning in which the Nationals committed two errors. His two earned runs came on a seventh-inning home run before game went into a lengthy rain delay. Strasburg owns a 3.10 ERA and 101:19 K:BB ratio in 81 1/3 innings. He'll square off with the Giants Monday.
