LOS ANGELES -- Stephen Strasburg will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series for the Washington Nationals.
Manager Davey Martinez made the announcement prior to the start of Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.
"He said he felt great, and he wanted to pitch," Martinez said of Strasburg, who worked three scoreless innings in relief of Max Scherzer, and earned the win in Tuesday's wild card game. "For me, it's like he threw a side [session] of 34 pitches with intensity. That's the way I looked at it the other day.
