Nationals' starter Stephen Strasburg out after three innings tonight vs Marlins

Washington Nationals' right-hander Stephen Strasburg never looked comfortable on the mound tonight in Nationals Park, and the MASN cameras caught him grimacing after a few pitches. Strasburg was out after just three innings vs Miami...

[ed. note - "There is no word on what was bothering Stephen Strasburg in tonight's start, but he left the game after just three innings and 64 pitches. This is what we saw from home watching on MLB.tv. He was clearly uncomfortable on the mound. MASN's cameras caught him grimacing after at least two pitches."]

He was visited on the mound by his catcher, Wilson Ramos, and teammates early in the outing and later by Nationals' skipper Matt Williams and trainer Lee Kuntz and though he stayed in after that visit, he left the game after just three innings vs the Miami Marlins.
