Stephen Strasburg started the night (3-0) in three starts against the Miami Marlins this year, with a 1.61 ERA in 22 1⁄3 IP, and the Washington Nationals’ right-hander had an 11-start win streak going against the Fish, which went back to 2015, over which he’d posted a 1.46 ERA in 80 1⁄3 innings.
After giving up back-to-back, one-out singles in the top of the first, the 2009 No. 1 overall pick retired 22-straight Marlins’ batters to get through eight scoreless innings with just two hits allowed, and 14 Ks collected (from 25 batters), as the Nats jumped out to a 6-0 lead, before Anthony Rendon made his 7-0 with his second home run of the game in the bottom of the eighth.
