Washington Nationals' right-hander Stephen Strasburg takes the mound this afternoon in the series finale with the Los Angeles Dodgers, looking to tie Washington Senators' righty Firpo Marberry for the longest winning streak by a starter in D.C.-baseball history.
Los Angeles Dodgers' lefty Julio Urias held the Washington Nationals to six hits and two runs over five innings, receiving no decision in what ended up a 4-3 win for LA when the two teams met in Dodger Stadium last month.
Dusty Baker was impressed with the 19-year-old rookie's work on the mound in what was then his sixth major league start.
