Washington Nationals' right-hander Stephen Strasburg limited the New York Mets to one run on two hits in seven innings of work in which he struck out nine as the Nats evened up the first-half-ending four-game set with their NL East rivals, 3-1. Shawn Kelley, Oliver Perez, Blake Treinen and Jonathan Papelbon finished the Mets off after Strasburg was done for the day, throwing two scoreless frames to end the game. Nationals now 52-36 on the year with two to go before the All-Star Break.
