Stephen Strasburg never looked comfortable on the mound. His velocity was off. A camera in Busch Stadium caught him as he was rubbing his right shoulder/neck in the dugout. He also ended up giving up a total of eight hits and five walks with seven earned runs on his line for the night in St. Louis, where the Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals by a final score of 14-3. At least it only took... 5 hours. Oh, sorry, I’m told it was just over three hours and 30 minutes.
