"The Nationals eventually won the game, but Stammen wasn't particularly pleased with his own performance, especially after giving up another homer to Ty Wigginton. "'It wasn't good enough, bottom line,' Stammen said of his start. 'I gave up two homers. Two two-run homers killed me.'"

• MASNsports.com - Kristen Hudak - "Strasburg's arrival throws curve to expectant couple"

"I know we're all driving ourselves crazy trying to pick Strasburg's debut date. It's a can't-miss event and sometimes it's hard to plan life around baseball especially with so many unknown factors.

"For season ticker holders Gavin and Rebecca Birch, it's especially hard. The couple is expecting their first child, a daughter, on June 5th."
