Stephen Strasburg had trouble with Cleveland's mound while lasting 5 1/3 innings during his second major league start, leading the visiting Washington Nationals over the Indians 9-4 on Sunday.
Coming off a 14-strikeout debut, Strasburg, who was bothered by loose dirt on the mound and twice requested repairs, allowed just two hits, one a home run by Travis Hafner. He struck out eight and walked five before leaving to a chorus of boos in the sixth as Washington ended Cleveland's four-game winning streak.
