  • Pulled! John Lannan (+10.8%) gives up way too many fly balls, but only surrenders 1 ER in 5.1 IP with 4 Ks and 2 BBs.
  • Reliably Beastly: Michael Morse (+20.4%) is 2-4 with 2 HRs, including a two-run, first-inning shot for the lead and the winning margin (+17.6%)
  • Also d1ng3r1ng: Ian Desmond (+9.2%) hits a leadoff solo shot to tie it in the first (+10.7%), while Jayson Werth (+7.0%) adds another solo bomb to tack on (+7.8%).

a bit of symmetry

Strasburg’s first start was at home against a former Yankee farmhand (Karstens); his first start as V2.0 is at home against a former Yankee farmhand (Lilly). Given the more stringent pitch count, I doubt we’ll see a repeat of last year’s 0BB-14K performance, but…
