Strasburg tosses 6 hitless innings in Triple-A

Nationals phenom compiles seven strikeouts, one walk

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Stephen Strasburg has pitched six innings without allowing a hit in his latest start at Triple-A.

The Washington Nationals’ prospect had another dominant outing for Syracuse on Wednesday night. He struck out seven and walked one against Norfolk.

Strasburg was taken out of the game with his no-hit bid intact. The top pick of the 2009 draft made his Triple-A debut last week and gave up only one hit in six innings.

Strasburg started the season at Double-A and went 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA.
