It may not have been a one-hit gem like Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer, but Stephen Strasburg put on a masterful performance in Game 3 of the NLCS. Now, the Washington Nationals are one win away from their first-ever trip to the World Series, as they take a commanding 3-0 series.
Strasburg allowed one unearned run and seven hits. He also struck out 12 batters without issuing a walk.
All 12 of those strikeouts came from off-speed pitches.
Another stellar pitching performance from Strasburg. Another stellar pitching performance from the Nationals starters this postseason. And now, they’re just one win away from a pennant.
