Magic in Washington! Nationals Park was crowded to see the first real great moment of the Nationals since their arrival to the Capital in 2005. The 2009 first draft pick Stephen Strasburg was ready for his debut in the Majors.
Last year he wasn't just a first pick. He was also called a phenomenon and the baseball world talked and wrote about him as if he were an UFO.
He really is from another planet! If he is going to pitch like this Tuesday against the Pirates, ¡striking out 14!, he'll be a magic pitcher! It's awesome to watch his pitches reaching 97-98 miles per hour and his killer breaking throws. He is going to hurt all the batters' hearts.
Before Tuesday's superb gem, the right handed pitcher played in the minors for 11 games, winning 7, losing 2 and getting a little 1.30 ERA. Microscopic!
The Nationals beat the Pirates 5-2, but the true scoreboard is Strasburg 14 - Pirates 0. You must watch his 14 strike outs. Watch it! Click here!
Not 14... 12!
The New York Yankees jumped over the Orioles 12-7 to correctly begin the series at Oriole Park. Offense plus Phil Hughes was the formula to win this Tuesday in Baltimore.
Deep balls were the strategy for the Yankees to attack the Orioles and the unrecognizable starter Kevin Millwood (0-7, 5.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 5 BB, 6 SO) early. Nick Swisher batted a two-run homerun in the first inning and Curtis Granderson ripped a grand slam in the third.
The Yankees waited to score again until the seventh, when they reached home six times! First, Brett Gardner singled when the bases were loaded, then Swisher drove in his third, fourth, and fifth runs of his big night clearing the bases with a double. Following Swisher, Mark Teixeira, whose last homerun was on May 30 against the Cleveland Indians, blasted a two-run homer which the Yankees fans hope finally ends the big first baseman's slump. 'Tex' hit three times on four at bats, scored twice, including the two RBIs.
Pitching a three-run game, four strike outs and none walks outing over six innings, Phil Hughes now has eight victories in the 2010 season. Despite the Orioles who scored two in the fourth and one in the fifth, Hughes shouldn't be called as the fifth starter. He'll continue as the last man of the rotation, but imagine he is playing in a top vacancy.
The Yankees got fifteen hits, the same number as the Orioles that batted nine off Hughes. The majority of the other ones, five, were allowed by Chad Gaudin who had troubles as a result of four runs in two innings.
