What It Means:

Strasburg was dominant as he struck out 11 batters while walking just one for his second double-digit punch out game of the year. He had a shutout going until Dansby Swanson hit a two-run, two-out double in the eighth to knock Strasburg out of the game.

Strasburg is 5-1 with a 2.85 FIP and 59 strikeouts (24.2 percent) in 60 1/3 innings pitched.
