The Nationals just pinch hit for Stephen Strasburg in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Nationals leading the Phillies 2-0. It is Strasburg’s fourth straight start in which he did not allow a run. He has not allowed a run since the first inning on Aug. 18, the day he returned from the disabled list. That’s 34 consecutive scoreless innings. It makes me wonder how long that nerve issue bothered him.
Strasburg’s ERA is down to 2.64. He allowed two hits and a walk, and erased two of those runners with double plays while striking out 10.
Trea Turner homered in the eighth to extend the lead to 3-0.
