Strasburg stars as Nationals beat Orioles 9-3 - Yahoo! Sports
Stephen Strasburg took a swing and looked in amazement as the baseball carried over the left-field wall.
If Strasburg's first major league homer came as a surprise, his performance on the mound did not. With Strasburg leading the way, the Washington Nationals beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-3 Sunday to avert a three-game sweep.
In addition to his 2-for-2 performance at the plate, Strasburg (4-1) struck out eight in five innings before being lifted by manager Davey Johnson, who said the pitcher mentioned tightness in his biceps.
