WASHINGTON -- It was a rematch between two power pitchers: Stephen Strasburg vs. Matt Harvey. But just like last week against the Mets, it went the Nationals' way as Washington won the game, 7-4, at Nationals Park on Tuesday night. The Nationals, who hit a season-high five home runs, increased their lead over the Mets in the National League East to 1 1/2 games.
Harvey was a little better than he was last Thursday. He was given a 1-0 lead in the fourth on a home run by Asdrubal Cabrera, but ended up losing the lead in the bottom of the inning as Ryan Zimmerman and Anthony Rendon hit back-to-back home runs to put Washington ahead, 2-1.
