"I’m not a kid anymore. ...You know, I should be allowed to stretch a little bit out there… No big deal. Obviously he cares about me and wants everything to be OK, but there was nothing to be worried about."
(Stephen Strasburg on Steve McCatty's 7th inning visit to the mound after Stras stretched, via Washington Times, 6/22/2013)
Nationals 2, Rockies 1: A dominant Stephen Strasburg (just let him stretch, Cat!) + just enough offense (video of Ian Desmond's tie-breaking HR) + Ryan Zimmerman's bat and glove (video of his great over-the-shoulder-catch here) + the return of Drew Storen + Untuck = 3rd win in a row.
And Dan Haren on the mound today to keep the streak going?
