Stras keeps velocity steady in encouraging start

Stephen Strasburg rebound from last week’s subpar return from the DL with six innings of two-run ball. He fanned five and kept his velocity in the mid 90s throughout. The Nats poked and prodded their way to five runs against Phillies starter Zach Eflin, capitalizing on some poor defense. Rhys Hoskins hit his 27th homer for Philadelphia in the eighth, but it was too little, too late.
