		<description><![CDATA[Nationals&#8217; fans are spoiled: they are so accustomed to superb pitching performances that when they don&#8217;t get one, they wonder what the problem is. But yesterday afternoon Stephen Strasburg, on the losing end of a 6-1 decision at the hands of the lowly San Diego Padres, reminded them that anything can, and usually does, happen.

		<description><![CDATA[Henry Rodriguez walked the bases full in the 9th inning again tonight, but Davey Johnson decided on a switch and brought lefty Sean Burnett in from the bullpen to shut down the threatening Padres. The move worked, with Burnett turning a nifty 1-2-3 double play to end the game and preserve an 8-5 Nationals win. [...]]]></description>
