Stephen Strasburg leaves Nationals' 6-3 loss to Reds with cramp in right calf

Stephen Strasburg collected his 1,000th career strikeout on the 9th of his 10 Ks this afternoon, but he gave up two home runs and the Nationals' starter left the game against the Reds in Great American Ball Park with a cramp in his right calf.

Stephen Strasburg is still undefeated in 2016, but the Washington Nationals are no longer unbeaten in their 27-year-old right-hander's starts.

Before this afternoon, the Nationals were 11-0 in the '09 No. 1 overall pick's outings this season, but they dropped a 6-3 decision to the Cincinnati Reds in Great American Ball Park.
