Strasburg threw only 16 pitches before leaving with hand issue in the first inning of Washington's 15-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Martinez said Strasburg was feeling numbness in his thumb and that the sensation originated in the wrist. The Nationals withstood the injury to Strasburg after rebounding from a defeat that took five days to decide and weathering a lengthy rain delay. His first outing came against the Orioles in a game that was suspended Sunday at Nationals Park and completed Friday at Camden Yards with Baltimore winning 6-2. Orioles: Asher Wojciechowski (0-1, 3.95) makes his sixth career appearance against the Nationals, still looking for his first win against them.

Two employees at a fast-food restaurant in North Carolina were fired last week after they allegedly refused service to a police officer. Were saddened that an employee denied service to a police officer, Hess told WTVD. I didnt know nothing that it was that serious until the next day I heard the cashier got fired because she didnt take the cops order, Woods told CBS affiliate WNCN. She confirmed the cashier refused to help the officer but had asked a fellow employee to step in. But when the second employee went to take the order, the officer wanted to know what happened to the first cashier.
