Wednesday afternoon, the Washington Nationals will send Stephen Strasburg to the hill as they face the Colorado Rockies and Jorge De La Rosa. Strasburg makes his 22^nd start as De La Rosa makes his 21^st.

Stephen Strasburg saw his record even out at 7 - 7 with an ERA of 3.55 after he took the loss in his last outing. In that start, Strasburg surrendered 4 runs and 7 hits (including 2 home runs) in 7 innings of work. He walked a batter and struck out 9. Strasburg is already on pace to blow past his results from 2013 when he posted a record of 8 -9 with a 3.00 ERA in 30 starts.

Last season, Strasburg won his only start against the Rockies after holding them to a run and 5 hits in 7 innings. This season, he beat Colorado again with basically the same numbers, holding them to a run (on a solo home run) and 5 hits in 7.2 innings.

Jorge De La Rosa didn't get the decision his last time out and that held his record at 10 -6 with a 4.39 ERA. De La Rosa held the opposition to a run on 4 hits in 6 innings as he walked 3 and struck out 2. The no-decision halted a 4 game win streak for the veteran lefty. He has a chance to match his win total from 2013 when he went 16 - 6 with a 3.49 ERA in 30 starts.

Last season, De La Rosa was 1 -1 with a 3.97 ERA in 2 starts against the Nationals. Washington has fared well against De La Rosa in the past as they collectively own a .298 average with 25 hits, 4 homers and 16 RBIs in 84 at-bats.
