Stephen Strasburg made back-to-back starts against Miami back on June 27 and July 3rd, giving up seven hits and four earned runs in seven innings of work in Marlins Park, before tossing 7 1⁄3 scoreless in Nationals Park the next time out, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out 14 of 27 batters faced in a 110-pitch outing.
Talking about the difference in those two starts, and what was working the second time he faced the Nats’ divisional rivals, Strasburg said work he did between the outings paid off.
