Washington Nationals name Stephen Strasburg NLDS Game 2 starter

Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez was weighing his options for Game 2’s starter in the NLDS when he spoke to reporters last night, explaining that even though right-hander Stephen Strasburg had thrown 34 pitches in three scoreless innings in relief in the Wild Card Game with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday onight, he was still in the mix to start against the Los Angeles Dodgers tomorrow.

“We’ll see,” Martinez said. “Obviously, Stephen threw the ball well yesterday for us. We have other options. So we’ll see how it transpires over the next day.
