Tonight’s Washington Nationals game was all about the return of Stephen Strasburg (6-5, 4.76 ERA) to the starting rotation. Strasburg was pitching for the first time since July 4, when he left that start early due to a left oblique strain. Tonight, the 27-year-old dominated both on the mound and at the plate. He struck out 12 batters over seven innings and had three singles as the Nats defeated the Colorado Rockies, 6-1. With the win, the Nationals are now 1.5 games back in the NL East due to the Mets losing to the Rays.
