ATLANTA -- Stephen Strasburg struck out a season-high 11 and kept up his recent domination of the Atlanta Braves, leading Washington to a 3-2 win Sunday that stopped the Nationals' four-game losing streak.
Strasburg (5-1) allowed five hits in 7 2/3 innings, beating Atlanta for the second time this season and improving to 7-1 in his last nine starts against the Braves. He is 10-8 overall against Atlanta.
He reached double digits in strikeouts for the second time this season after fanning 10 Braves on April 20.
Strasburg faded in the eighth, when Dansby Swanson hit a two-run double.
