The Washington Nationals dropped another game on Tuesday, falling back under .500 on the year.
On the hill was Stephen Strasburg, taking on one of Major League Baseball’s worst offenses in the San Francisco Giants.
Coming into the series, the Giants ranked 2nd to last in wRC+, slugging percentage, and last in wOBA.
Strasburg started out humming along, throwing five shutout innings. However, in the fifth and sixth innings, he surrendered three home runs en route to a 6 IP, 4 ER losing effort.
This is the second consecutive start in which the long ball bug has bitten Strasburg.
