Washington Nationals' right-hander Stephen Strasburg is the first National League starter to go 13-0 to start a season since New York Giants' left-hander Rube Marquard in 1912. He also extended his personal unbeaten streak.
In three starts since he returned from a DL stint for an upper back injury, Washington Nationals' right-hander Stephen Strasburg has allowed just five hits from the 78 batters he's faced. Strasburg has allowed just two earned runs in 21 u2154 innings (0.83 ERA) over that stretch, and he's held opposing hitters to a .072/.179/.116 line over that stretch, improving to 13-0 so far in 2016 with last night's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
