Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg cruised to a win Tuesday, giving up just one earned run on five hits and one walk in 7 2/3 innings while striking out eight in his team's 7-1 victory over the Rockies.
Strasburg (7-6) was excellent through seven innings before serving up a solo home run in the eighth and also walking the last batter he faced. He delivered an impressive rebound performance after surrendering seven runs in his previous start. Strasburg owns a 3.53 ERA and 131:24 K:BB ratio in 112 1/3 innings. He's slated to face the Orioles Monday.
