with Strickland, it'll be interesting when he has adversity how he fares. Especially if he gives up a big homer. That'll be the big point for him IMO.

Nats with a solid win over the Cubs today. Man the Cubs are going to be good. Nats are so lucky to have a guy like a Tanner Roark. Pitched 5 real good innings(only giving up a solo homer to Kris Bryant). Then Treinin, Thornton, and Barrett pitch 3 solid innings to bridge to Storen who nailed down the save(vs Bryant and Rizzo 1st 2 batters so no cheap save this time). Nats now at .600.

The thing also that is nice for the Nats- the announcers brought up today- Nats have played now 24 road games- that's more than all but the Phillies and Reds so far. 2 More than the Mets, and 6 more than the Dodgers.
