August 13 at AT&T Park in San Francisco, CA
NBC Bay Area
Ryan Vogelsong gave a up a home run to Yunel Escobar on the first pitch of the game, but that was it for the Nationals. Vogelsong settled in to pitch five innings and the Giants' bullpen tossed four scoreless, led by a dominant Hunter Strickland (perfect 6th/7th) in a 3-1 victory.
Mike Krukow
We've heard from Krukow before, though Thursday's game he had a couple specific goals. Let's take a look:
1. Mike wants us to know that Stephen Strasburg (6 IP, 2 ER, 8 K) is challenging San Francisco hitters.
"A challenge, get-it-over fastball"
"3-2 challenge fastball"
"A challenge fastball right up above the belt"
"95 mile an hour challenge"
2. He also wants us to know "(Strasburg is) not a bad hitter."
Yes he is, Mike.
He's a pitcher hitting .150/.150/.150 this season and is a .148/.199/.197 career hitter coming into the night. He's the exact definition of a bad hitter.
3. Couple other Krukows:
"He's a little goosey right there"
"Those are macho strike outs"
