Stephen Strasburg tossed eight scoreless innings against Atlanta when he faced the Braves in Nationals Park back on April 10th, giving up three hits and two walks, with eight strikeouts from the 28 batters he faced in what ended up a 4-1 win for Washington’s 29-year-old right-hander.
Strasburg told reporters after that game that he countered the Braves’ lineup by trying to match their aggressive approach at the plate from the mound.
