Game Thread: Carrasco-Strasburg makes for one hell of a lunch date

You aren't doing anything else important at noon on a Wednesday anyway, are you?

Cleveland Indians vs. Washington Nationals

Six afternoon games are scheduled on this busy Wednesday, but only one is worth watching. Not only is it the only one worth watching because the Cleveland Indians are playing, but it includes a great pitching matchup: Carlos Carrasco vs. Stephen Strasburg.


After last night's strange, walk-off win, I think I could live with an early blowout victory.
