Stras K`s 13, Nats start fast to top Cubs
(MLB.com Washington Nationals)

A day after the Nationals` offense relied on its speed and stole a team-record seven bases, it broke out its power Wednesday night against the pitcher who has given up the most homers in the National League. Washington hit three home runs off Cubs right-hander John Lackey -- increasing his total to 24 homers allowed -- to cruise to an 8-4 victory at Nationals Park.
