WASHINGTON -- Stephen Strasburg threw eight masterful innings and bunted in a run and Michael Taylor hit a two-run homer that broke the game open as the Washington Nationals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on Friday night in the first game after the All-Star break.Strasburg (13-0) allowed one run and three hits with six strikeouts. The eight innings tied his longest start of the season. It was Strasburgs franchise-record 16th straight decision since September.Washington improved to 16-1 with Strasburg on the mound this year. He is the only qualified starter in the majors without a loss.The Nationals did most of their damage in the seventh inning, scoring one run on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Strasburg, another on a wild pitch and throwing error and two more on Taylors seventh homer.Washingtons Clint Robinson drove in a run in the fifth and scored in the seventh.Pirates starter Francisco Liriano (5-9) allowed three runs and five hits in six-plus innings.Reliever Neftali Feliz was responsible for the wild pitch and served up Taylors home run to right-center.Jordy Mercer drove in Pittsburghs only run in the fifth, and the Pirates were mostly helpless against Strasburg, who has allowed a total of five hits in three starts since coming off the disabled list July 3. He faced the minimum number of batters and didnt allow a hit through four, wiggling out of trouble twice before giving way to Shawn Kelley for the ninth.A bonkers seventh inning provided plenty of run support for the All-Star right-hander. A leadoff walk by Danny Espinosa and a single by Robinson -- who got the start at first when Daniel Murphy was a late scratch -- set the table for Strasburg at the plate.First baseman David Freese didnt tag first on the sac bunt attempt, and Espinosa made good on his gamble of running home from third. A throwing error by catcher Eric Fryer on Felizs wild pitch compounded things, and then Taylor tacked on the extra runs.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong, who has been out since May 23 when he was hit by a pitch and suffered three facial fractures, threw six scoreless innings in a rehab start for Double-A Altoona. ...
