SF 4 WSH 2
Chris Stratton out-dueled Gio Gonzalez and led the way with a solid 6-2/3 to prevail over the Nationals. Mac Williamson had the big hit, a two-run homer in the 6th that proved to be the difference. Brandon Belt led off the inning with a walk, chasing Gonzalez, and reliever Shawn Kelly coughed up a 464-foot space probe that almost hit the bricks behind the bleachers in right-center. Right-handers don't usually hit opposite-field homers in San Francisco and certainly not ones that deep. Keep on rockin', Mac.
Speaking of rockin', Chris Stratton has logged 31 innings in 2018 with only 19 hits and 9 runs allowed.
