Notes – ESPN Sunday night game, so first for us in a while to start
well after sundown … Strasburg finally gave up a run in the top of the 2nd,
ending his 35-inning streak of scoreless innings, but otherwise blanked the
Dodgers through 6, despite allowing 3 stolen bases … he also contributed at the
plate, running up Hyun-Jin Ryu’s pitch count with 2 outs in the 5th
with a 9-pitch at-bat ending in a walk, forcing LA manager Dave Roberts to lift
his starter after he then walked Trea Turner … Nats offense, quiet while losing
4 out of 5 games since last Sunday’s clincher, finally woke up the next inning,
when Zim hit a 3-run homer after a Rendon walk and a Murphy single … added one
insurance run in the 7th, and 3 more the next inning on a solo HR by
Zim and a 2-run shot by Adam Lind, who set the Nats career record for pinch-hit
homers with his 4th
