Hochman: Entering Game 3, what can Cardinals glean from game against Nats' Strasburg 27 days ago?

WASHINGTON – It was the smallest of sample sizes. But, hey, the postseason is the epitome of a small-sample size, so if we're embracing small-sample sizes, let's take a look back at one single game, September 16, Stephen Strasburg vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.

That night at Busch Stadium, Strasburg pitched five innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He struck out six, but walked four. The Cards won, 4-2, and here's the game story by Rick Hummel of the Post-Dispatch.

Strasburg will face the Cards tonight here in DC in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.
