The Washington Nationals managed to pull out a series split against the lowly Miami Marlins. They did so behind a dominant Stephen Strasburg who was flat out dominant for the most part in the game.
The right-hander managed to strike out 11 Marlins over six innings while giving up just two runs. The only innings the hosts seemed to muster up much of a threat was the fifth inning with the Nationals nursing a 3-1 lead.
He surrendered three straight hits and then walked Peter O’Brien, who had homered off him earlier with two outs.
