CLEVELAND -- Stephen Strasburgs losing streak was short lived.Washingtons ace easily shut down Cleveland for seven innings and bounced back from his only loss this season, leading the Nationals to a 4-1 win over the Indians on Wednesday.Strasburg (14-1) began the season with 13 straight wins before he was beaten by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 21. The powerful right-hander made the most of his next outing by shaking off the one blemish on his resume this season and holding the Indians to three hits as the Nationals recovered after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth and losing on Tuesday night.This is what you want your big boys to do, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said of Strasburg, now 20-3 since Aug. 8.Washington rookie Trea Turner drove in three runs and Daniel Murphy hit his 20th homer off Carlos Carrasco (7-4), who nearly matched Strasburg but was done in by one bad inning.Nationals reliever Blake Treinen stopped Clevelands threat in the ninth, getting a game-ending double play for his first major league save.Strasburg had little trouble handling the AL Central-leading Indians, who came in with the majors best record since June 1 but couldnt generate enough offense against the Nationals $175 million man. He was in control from the outset and made Washingtons 2-0 lead over the first five innings feel like the score was 10-0.Strasburg walked one and struck out seven.He has a lot of weapons, Indians manager Terry Francona said. He can throw the ball by you, a fastball on both sides of the plate. He has a slider, change. Hes got everything and his fastball has a ton of ride or finish, however you want to put it. His delivery. Its impressive.After Tuesdays rough loss, the Nationals needed a spark. Strasburg gave them one.A lot of times you respond to the guy whos pitching on the mound, Baker said. The game starts and stops with him having the ball in his hand.Strasburg understands whats expected of him whenever he takes the mound.I try to do that every time if were winning or if were losing, he said. All I can do is what I can on the day I pitch. Its a long season so Im going to keep grinding.The Indians failed to turn a double play in the second and it cost Carrasco, who didnt help himself with three walks in the inning.After he walked the first two batters, Carrasco got Ryan Zimmerman to hit a hard grounder to shortstop Francisco Lindor, whose throw to second was dropped by Jason Kipnis on the transfer. With two outs, Ben Revere battled Carrasco for 13 pitches before walking and Turner made the right-hander pay for his inability to throw strikes by lining a two-run single to left.Strasburg took it from there.He was never in real trouble and on the two occasions the Indians got a runner to third, Strasburg got the out he needed.Jose Ramirez, who had two hits and reached base all three times up against Strasburg, was on third in the second when Strasburg struck out Rajai Davis to end the inning, blowing him away with a 97 mph fastball.Ramirez got to third again with two outs in the fourth after third baseman Anthony Rendons throwing error. This time, Strasburg retired Davis on a slow roller to third.Murphy, the NLs leading hitter, extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his towering shot off Carrasco to make it 3-0. Turners broken-bat RBI single in the seventh put the Nationals up by four.STREAKINGJayson Werths leadoff walk in the second extended his streak of reaching base to 30 games -- a career-high and the longest current run in the majors. ...
