Nunez Gets 3 Extra-Base Hits Off Strasburg, Giants Top Nats 7-1
WASHINGTON (CBS/AP) -- Eduardo Nunez got four hits, including two triples and a double off Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg, and the San Francisco Giants beat Washington 7-1 Saturday night.
Brandon Belt homered, doubled and singled as the Giants ended Washington's four-game winning streak in a matchup of NL division leaders.
Matt Cain (4-6) won his third straight start, pitching five shutout innings and scattering five hits. Last Sunday, he threw five no-hit innings to beat the Nationals at home.
Strasburg (15-2) was trying to become the first pitcher in the majors with 16 wins this season. Instead, he lasted only 4 2-3 innings in his shortest outing this year, giving up four runs and eight hits.
