Tanner Roark extends scoreless innings streak to 15-straight in Nationals' loss...

Washington Nationals' right-hander Tanner Roark extended his scoreless innings streak to 15-straight innings with seven strong on the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies in what ended up a 3-0 loss in which he received no decision.

Tanner Roark's fifteen strikeouts against the Minnesota Twins earlier in the homestand that ended with three straight losses to the Philadelphia Phillies, were the third-most ever by a pitcher in Washington Nationals' history (2005-present) and four more than he himself had collected in any of his previous fifty-one major league starts.

So... did Nats' skipper Dusty Baker feel the need to talk to his starter and tell him not to try to replicate those results in Thursday's outing in the series finale with the Phillies?
