The walk-off, which snapped Washington's four-game losing streak, was a fitting end to a night that featured the surprising news of Stephen Strasburg's seven-year, $175 million contract extension, which broke while he was on the mound. Strasburg turned in another solid outing, striking out 11 batters and lasting into the eighth inning, although Nick Castellanos and J.D. Martinez each tagged him for two-run homers.
"It was a grind. I threw a couple of pitches that I definitely would want back," said Strasburg, who declined to comment on his contract situation.
