Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg took a loss Wednesday, giving up three earned runs on seven hits in six innings while striking out eight in his team's 6-2 defeat against the Braves.
Strasburg (11-11) pitched four scoreless innings before surrendering a solo home run in the fifth, and the Braves were able to tack two more runs on in his sixth and final frame. On a positive note, he didn't walk a batter for the third straight start. Strasburg owns a 3.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 223:40 K:BB ratio in 195 innings. He's scheduled to face the Braves again Monday.
