Stephen Strasburg ripped by Diamondbacks in Nationals' loss

PHOENIX (AP) — Stephen Strasburg made no excuses. His back was fine; it was just a lousy night on the mound.

“I am embarrassed I let the team down,” he said. “I am just trying to go out there and help the team win some games and I didn’t do that tonight. I just have to turn the page and get back on it tomorrow.
