Nationals top prospect Stephen Strasburg struck out nine batters during an intrasquad minor league game Wednesday. Strasburg walked three and allowed one hit, throwing 79 pitches. He was pulled after walking two batters in the fifth inning. "You get out of rhythm, you get a little sped up, and it's going to cause you to fall off to one side or the other, but I'm just going out there and getting my work in," Strasburg said. "I knew exactly what happened," he added. "It's happened time and time before, so I know what to do to fix it, and I just got to remember to keep the same tempo and rhythm that I had the first four innings out there."
