Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg shut out the Marlins over six innings on Friday night. Strasburg needed 34 pitches in the opening inning, but finished with seven strikeouts and lowered his ERA to 2.03. "You're not going to go out there and feel perfect every single time," Strasburg said. "What separates the really good pitchers from the average ones is their ability to figure it out on the fly and make adjustments without really giving up too many runs. I was able to do that tonight." Washington topped Florida 4-0 at Sun Life Stadium.
