Stephen Strasburg Ks six; Carter Kieboom homers twice in Nationals’ 5-3 win over the Astros...

Stephen Strasburg threw a 94 mph 2-2 fastball by George Springer for a swinging K and the first out of this evening’s Grapefruit League matchup in West Palm Beach, FL.

He missed on four straight pitches to Derek Fisher in the next at bat, issuing his first walk of the game, and then gave up a line drive double by Alex Bregman on a first-pitch fastball up in the zone. Carlos Correa’s RBI groundout to the mound in the at bat that followed made it 1-0 Astros early in the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
