CLEVELAND -- Stephen Strasburgs losing streak was short lived.Washingtons ace easily shut down Cleveland for seven innings and bounced back from his only loss this season, leading the Nationals to a 4-1 win over the Indians on Wednesday.Strasburg (14-1) began the season with 13 straight wins before he was beaten by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 21. The powerful right-hander made the most of his next outing by shaking off the one blemish on his resume this season and holding the Indians to three hits as the Nationals recovered after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth and losing on Tuesday night.This is what you want your big boys to do, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said of Strasburg, now 20-3 since Aug. 8.Washington rookie Trea Turner drove in three runs and Daniel Murphy hit his 20th homer off Carlos Carrasco (7-4), who nearly matched Strasburg but was done in by one bad inning.Nationals reliever Blake Treinen stopped Clevelands threat in the ninth, getting a game-ending double play for his first major league save.Strasburg had little trouble handling the AL Central-leading Indians, who came in with the majors best record since June 1 but couldnt generate enough offense against the Nationals $175 million man. He was in control from the outset and made Washingtons 2-0 lead over the first five innings feel like the score was 10-0.Strasburg walked one and struck out seven.He has a lot of weapons, Indians manager Terry Francona said. He can throw the ball by you, a fastball on both sides of the plate. He has a slider, change. Hes got everything and his fastball has a ton of ride or finish, however you want to put it. His delivery. Its impressive.After Tuesdays rough loss, the Nationals needed a spark. Strasburg gave them one.A lot of times you respond to the guy whos pitching on the mound, Baker said. The game starts and stops with him having the ball in his hand.Strasburg understands whats expected of him whenever he takes the mound.I try to do that every time if were winning or if were losing, he said. All I can do is what I can on the day I pitch. Its a long season so Im going to keep grinding.The Indians failed to turn a double play in the second and it cost Carrasco, who didnt help himself with three walks in the inning.After he walked the first two batters, Carrasco got Ryan Zimmerman to hit a hard grounder to shortstop Francisco Lindor, whose throw to second was dropped by Jason Kipnis on the transfer. With two outs, Ben Revere battled Carrasco for 13 pitches before walking and Turner made the right-hander pay for his inability to throw strikes by lining a two-run single to left.Strasburg took it from there.He was never in real trouble and on the two occasions the Indians got a runner to third, Strasburg got the out he needed.Jose Ramirez, who had two hits and reached base all three times up against Strasburg, was on third in the second when Strasburg struck out Rajai Davis to end the inning, blowing him away with a 97 mph fastball.Ramirez got to third again with two outs in the fourth after third baseman Anthony Rendons throwing error. This time, Strasburg retired Davis on a slow roller to third.Murphy, the NLs leading hitter, extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his towering shot off Carrasco to make it 3-0. Turners broken-bat RBI single in the seventh put the Nationals up by four.STREAKINGJayson Werths leadoff walk in the second extended his streak of reaching base to 30 games -- a career-high and the longest current run in the majors. ...

Hes batting only .177 (14 of 79) in July.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: Bothered by vertigo-like symptoms for the past week, infielder Stephen Drew was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

LOS ANGELES -- After their big offensive day, the Los Angeles Dodgers were still rubbing their eyes at the craziest wild pitch theyd ever seen.In the fourth inning of the Dodgers 14-3 victory over Arizona on Sunday, Ross Striplings pitch, called a ball, deflected off catcher Yasmani Grandals throat guard and lodged inside his chest protector.Home plate umpire Todd Tichenor ruled the play a wild pitch and advanced the runners one base, bringing Arizona Jake Lamb home from third.The ball hits his mask, and gets lodged behind the chest protector, thats essentially an extra base advance, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. That was a big play. Fortunately, it didnt prove to be the difference in the game. I had never seen that personally.Even long-time Dodger announcer Vin Scully admitted hed never seen that before.Yasmani Grandal and Corey Seager each hit three-run home runs, Joc Pederson added a two-run shot for the Dodgers who scored 25 runs in the three-game series.Stripling, the first of six relievers the Dodgers called on in the come-from-behind victory, was not close to ready for the call when starter Bud Norris came out after two hitters.That was kind of crazy, Stripling said. I was in the trainers room doing my normal shoulder stuff and pregame routine, and I see Bud tweak something and Doc walk out there. I look at (Adam Liberatore) and say, `Should I go out there? And he says, `Run!In the three-game series, the Dodgers used eight relievers who combined to pitch 13 2/3 innings. In addition to Coleman and Baez making three appearances, Blanton, Avilan, J.P. Howell and Pedro Baez each pitched twice in the three games.Stripling pitched 3 2/3 innings in a long relief role that Dodger manager Dave Roberts enjoys having at his disposal.Its a huge luxury. Ross is a guy who gave us a lot of quality starts early on in the year, Roberts said. For him to give us length in the bullpen, thats the way its played out. Ross has saved us in some games.Stripling, Louis Coleman (2-1), Luis Avilan, Joe Blanton, Pedro Baez and J.P. Howell combined to pitch 8 2/3 innings in relief.We definitely made the right choice (bringing in Spripling), said Norris. We have a lot of games left to play. It was really uncomfortable, an achy, dead pain, and youre trying to throw the ball as hard as you can. Its a kind of goofy way to warm up. I can cross that off my baseball bucket list.The injury is not viewed as serious by the Dodgers, who expect Norris to make his next start.Grandal, who went 3 for 5 with and scored three times, hit his 15th home run of the season off reliever Dominic Leone in the sixth inning.Seager, who also had three hits, added his 18th off Steve Hathaway in the seventh, and Pederson got his 16th off Evan Marshall in the eighth to finish off the Dodgers comeback from a 3-0 deficit in the fourth.ddddddddddddatrick Corbin (4-10) gave up six runs and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings for Arizona, which lost for the 14th time in 19 games.We just didnt play a really good ballgame today Arizona manager Chip Hale. Patrick Corbin pitched very well. We cost him a bunch of pitches with errors.Yasiel Puig had three hits and two RBI, and Justin Turner added two hits and an RBI as the Dodgers finished with 16 hits and won for the fifth time in seven games.Seager was 7 for 13 in the series to raise his batting average to .310.Puig, making his first start since July 20, reached base four times and scored twice. He has driven in 10 runs in his last 15 starts. Tightness in his right hamstring limited Puig to three pinch-hitting appearances over the previous eight games.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke will make his next rehab start with Double-A Reno on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.
