It didnt’ take long after Bryce Harper’s first career home run for the young phenom of the Washington Nationals’ pitching staff to take one deep.
Stephen Strasburg went deep during the Nats’ Sunday game against the Baltimore Orioles. It was in the fourth inning off starter Wei-Yin Chen and it received a curtain call.

Strasburg had to leave his start early, though, because of biceps tightness after five innings. Strasburg insists he is fine:
“The biceps (is) fine,” Strasburg said. “I think it was (about) throwing a lot of pitches early. I got a little tired. It got a little tight. But that’s nothing different than any other outing. It’s just part of coming back from Tommy John — building up the innings, getting the stamina and everything. It’s just something I’ve got to be smart about.”
Strasburg is expected to make his next start.
