Strasburg lives up to the hype

The Washington National’s pitching phenom, Stephen Strasburg made his big-league debut.  The results were jaw-dropping.  In the 7 innings he pitched, he struck out 14!  He walked 0.   He gave up four hits, including a two-run homer, but he took the win, 5-2.   The kid struck out each of the Pittsburg Pirates starters.  He struck out the final 7 batters he faced.  No Nationals pitcher has ever struck out so many.  Few rookies have put on such a dominating performance in his first game.
