Stephen Strasburg was dominant, striking out 14 in seven and a third two-hit, scoreless innings, in a 3-1 Washington Nationals win over Miami on Wednesday.
Strasburg (10-4, 3.64 ERA) didn’t even surrender a fly ball in the outing, his seventh win in eight decisions dating back to May 18.
Brian Dozier (13) and Matt Adams (13) each homered for the Nats, whose 25-10 record since May 24 is the best in MLB.
Sean Doolittle survived a rough ninth inning, in which he allowed three singles and hit a batter, to record his 19th save.
Washington (44-41) is six games back of Atlanta in the NL East, and is be in a three-way tie for the second wild-card spot in the National League.
