Stephen Strasburg threw 114 pitches in six innings in Game 2 of the World Series, striking out seven of 26 Houston Astros he faced while giving up seven hits, one walk, and two earned runs in what ended up a 12-3 win for the Washington Nationals in Minute Maid Park.
Going up against the Astros last night, so soon after that first outing, he said, was not much different from the way the regular season schedule works these days, and, he added, if he executed his pitches he’d be fine.
