Stephen Strasburg - Falls to 1-2 Strasburg (1-2) was charged with the loss to the Reds on Thursday after allowing three runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out five and issued one walk.
Impact Making his second start back from a bout of shoulder inflammation, Strasburg pitched well -- just not well enough to beat Sonny Gray on this evening. He allowed a homer to Eugenio Suarez in the first inning and was completely BABIP'd in the fifth with an infield single, a single off the second-base bag and a double just inside the left-field foul line. Strasburg, who threw 87 pitches in this outing after tossing 72 pitches in his return, lines up for a road start in Atlanta early next week.

Sonny Gray - Picks up first win of 2021 Gray (1-3) earned the win over the Nationals on Thursday, allowing two hits and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Impact This was a stellar showing from Gray and he was rewarded with his first win since last August. The right-hander got 14 called strikes, eight swinging strikes and seven groundball outs on 90 pitches -- there was some thought he could go the distance in this seven-inning game, but manager David Bell turned to Lucas Sims for the save chance. Gray will take a 3.40 ERA into next week, which projects as a favorable two step (vs. PHI, at STL).

Lucas Sims - Earns save No. 3 Sims struck out one batter in a scoreless inning against the Nationals on Thursday en route to his third save of the season.
Impact After Sonny Gray went six scoreless, Sims took the ball and completed the shutout on 11 pitches (this was a seven-inning contest played following the conclusion of Wednesday's suspended game). Sims has endured some bumps in the road this season and sits with a 6.00 ERA, but with saves in back-to-back appearances, he appears to be the 1a option at closer for the Reds. Tejay Antone recently described his role as "mid-game closer," per the Cincinnati Enquirer.
