After losing a game, winning a game and losing two mainstays to injuries Friday night, the Washington Nationals will look for more stability when they face the host Baltimore Orioles again on Saturday.
On Friday, the teams completed a game that was started on Sunday, and the Orioles finished with a 6-2 win that technically was part of the earlier series. The Nationals bounced back with a 15-3 victory later Friday in the regularly scheduled game, thanks to six players who knocked in two runs apiece.
Results aside, the Nationals had a rough night Friday.
Starter Stephen Strasburg experienced a nerve irritation issue in his pitching hand -- the reason he sat out the two weeks of the season before debuting Sunday -- forcing him out in the first inning of the regularly scheduled Friday game.
