PITTSBURGH -- The Nationals stuck with their ace.
Terrence
Ross Raptors Jersey . The Pirates made them pay. Josh Harrison had a
tiebreaking, two-out single two batters after Jose Tabata hit a sacrifice fly
off of Stephen Strasburg in the seventh inning, and Pittsburgh handed Washington
its fourth straight defeat, 3-2 Saturday night. Strasburg, who struck out 14 in
a memorable major league debut against the Pirates almost four years ago, did
not allow a hit Saturday until Walkers homer to centre with one out in the
fourth. Pittsburgh managed just three more singles off Strasburg until the
seventh, when Russell Martin led off with a single and went to third on a
one-out double by Starling Marte before scoring on the sacrifice fly by
pinch-hitter Tabata. "(Strasburg) pitched very well," Washington manager Matt
Williams said. "Of course, they got to him in that last inning but I want to
give him a chance to get out of there with a tie game. He was still strong. Hes
our ace, hes deserves a chance to get out of it and it didnt work out."
Gerrit Cole left after six innings trailing by a run while facing Strasburg in
the first matchup in the NL of No. 1 overall draft picks in nine years. Cole --
the top pick of the 2011 draft, two years after Strasburg went first -- allowed
two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts. Strasburg (3-4) allowed three runs
on seven hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings. Strasburg insisted he
wasnt losing his stuff as he crossed the 100-pitch plateau in the seventh. "My
command was still pretty good," he said. "I got a pitch in on Martin and he
dumped it into the outfield. I tried to pitch around a couple of guys. The pitch
that killed me was the hanging curveball to Marte. That really set up the inning
for them." Of the Harrison at-bat, Strasburg said: "Hes the type of hitter whos
going to put the ball in play and he put it in the right place." Harrison
followed pinch-hitter Travis Snider, whom the Nationals intentionally walked
after Strasburg fell behind 2-0. "I was pretty much telling myself, I feel like
Im seeing everything hes throwing," Harrison said of his seventh-inning at bat
against Stephen Strasburg. "I was just looking to barrel something up."
Neil Walker hit his 10th home run for the Pirates, who tied their season-best
winning streak of four. Jered Hughes (3-1), Jeanmar Gomez and Mark Melancon each
worked a perfect inning of relief for Pittsburgh. Melancon picked up his ninth
save when he finished the Pirates majors-best 14th one-run victory. Ian Desmond
hit his ninth homer for Washington (24-25), which has lost six of eight and fell
under .500 for the first time this season. "Its tough -- were all trying very
hard, trying to get back on track," Strasburg said. "I do think weve probably
reached the point where were trying too hard and need to take a step back and
let the game come to us." The bullpen backed up Cole, who allowed 10 baserunners
and threw 112 pitches in six innings, retiring the side in order only once.
Still, Pittsburgh won for the fourth time in five May starts by Cole.
Wilson Ramos sawed-off, bloop single in the sixth scored Anthony Rendon to give
the Nationals a 2-1 lead. Greg Dobbs went 2 for 4 for the Nationals. NOTES: The
Mets Kris Benson (the No. 1 pick of the 1996 draft) faced Cincinnatis
Paul Wilson (No. 1 overall in 1994) on May 16, 2005 -- the most recent
occurrence of top picks facing each other in the NL. It happened in the American
League two years ago (Kansas Citys Luke Hochevar vs. Tampa Bays David Price on
Aug. 21, 2012). . 1B Adam LaRoche joined the Nationals in Pittsburgh and will be
activated for Sundays game. Infielder Zach Walters was optioned to Triple-A
Syracuse after Saturdays game to make room for LaRoche, who has been on the
disabled list since May 10 because of a right quad strain. ... SS Desmonds homer
gives the Nationals 17 this season from their middle infielders, most in the
majors. . The four-game series wraps up Sunday when Washington RHP Doug Fister
(1-1, 3.93) faces Pirates LHP Francisco Liriano (0-4, 4.86). Despite his record,
Pittsburgh has won five of Lirianos past six starts.

matchup with the Miami Dolphins.Oxford, MS - Perhaps Mississippi was caught
looking ahead with an October gauntlet in the SEC looming -- at least through
the first three quarters. Bo Wallace tossed both of his touchdown passes to
Laquon Treadwell, who posted five receptions for 123 yards, and the 10th-ranked
Rebels pulled away from Memphis, 24-3, on Saturday night. Turnovers, penalties
and missed field goals marred the offensive and special teams side of the ball,
despite the Rebels outgaining the Tigers, 426-104. They recorded four turnovers,
were penalized 10 times for 117 yards and Andrew Fletcher missed a pair of field
goals. Ole Miss outscored Memphis 17-0 in the fourth quarter. The Rebels October
stretch against Alabama, Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU will determine if they
will be a threat in the SEC West, which has six of its seven teams ranked in the
Top 25. The Rebels (4-0) are 4-0 for the first time since 1970. Wallace was
22-of-37 for 248 yards with two interceptions and also lost a fumble. Jaylen
Walton carried the ball 10 times for 78 yards and a score for Ole Miss, which
held the Tigers to 3-of-16 efficiency on third down. Paxton Lynch completed just
13-of-31 passes for 81 yards with one pick for the Tigers (2-2). Treadwell
hauled in a 63-yard TD pass on the Rebels second drive and they were clinging to
a 7-3 lead heading into the final frame. In between, the Rebels committed all
four of their turnovers, Fletcher misfired on field goals of 40 and 43 yards,
respectively, and Mark Dodson had a 71-yard TD run called back due to a holding
penalty. Fletcher shook off his prrior two misses and nailed a 19-yard field
goal to cap a 16-play, 75-yard drive early in the fourth.
Luis
Scola Jersey. The defense lifted the Rebels again just over three minutes
later. Marquis Haynes strip-sacked Lynch from behind and Issac Gross recovered
the fumble at the Memphis 23. Walton then broke off a 23-yard TD scamper along
the right sideline on the very next play to make it 17-3. Wallace hit Treadwell
for a 17-yard score in the back of the end zone on a 3rd-and-6 with 1:18 left to
cap the scoring. The Rebels opened the scoring on the second play of their
second drive. Wallace lofted his play-action pass to a wide-open Treadwell over
the middle. Memphis safety Fritz Etienne chased him down around the 5-yard line,
but Treadwell was able to dive, stretch and extend the ball over the goal line
for the score. A brawl broke out following the ensuing kickoff. Keith Lewis body
slammed Joe Craig to the turf after he was downed earlier on the play. This led
to a fracas between the teams along the sideline. Wallace fired an interception,
Cody Core fumbled and Fletcher missed the first of his two field goals to
conclude each of the next three Rebels possessions. Memphis was unable to take
advantage against Ole Miss stout defense, however, managing just a 40-yard Jake
Elliott field goal late in the first. Game Notes Ole Miss was 7-of-15 on third
down and held a 26-13 edge in first downs ... The Rebels held the ball for 36:38
... Ole Miss outgained Memphis 233-57 in total yardage in the first half and
limited the Tigers to minus-seven yards rushing.
