The Nationals missed another opportunity to get Stephen Strasburg off the hook in the sixth inning. It might not have been worse than the one in the fifth, but it certainly elicited a stronger reaction.
With runners on first and second, Adam Dunn singled to right. Roger Bernadina rounded third and challenged the strong-armed Jose Guillen, and it looked like his left foot touched home plate well ahead of Jason Kendall's tag. But home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt called Bernadina out. The Nationals, curiously, didn't argue the call, and Ian Desmond struck out to end the inning.
We're in the eighth now, and it's still 1-0. Strasburg is currently in line for his first big-league loss.
