WASHINGTON -- No-hit bid or not, Washington manager Dusty Baker was taking out Stephen Strasburg in the seventh inning.Its tough taking a guy out of a no-hitter, but we have to think about the future and where he had come from off the DL, Baker said. You just think: Were going to need him.Strasburg left after 6 2/3 innings and 109 pitches, and Ramon Cabrera singled against Matt Belisle leading off the eighth for Cincinnatis first hit in the Washington Nationals 12-1 rout of the Reds on Sunday.Strasburg has won a franchise-record 14 straight decisions and is the first NL starter to begin a season 11-0 since San Diegos Andy Hawkins in 1985. He did not disagree with Bakers decision to remove him.I understand where hes coming from, Strasburg said. Theres more important things, hopefully, down the road for this team.Activated from the disabled list before the game after missing two starts due to an upper back strain, Strasburg (11-0) was just five pitches shy of his highest pitch count this season. He left to a standing ovation from the crowd of 37.328 at Nationals Park and was replaced by Blake Treinen, who got Billy Hamilton to ground out.I felt pretty good, Strasburg said. It was weird, warming up. My changeup was the only pitch I could really locate, and then I couldnt find the strike zone with it today, but the curveball and slider were really good.Making his first appearance since June 15, Strasburg struck out five and walked four -- including two of the Reds first three batters. He then retired eight in a row, needing only eight pitches in each of the second and third innings.He threw an outstanding game, Baker said. Its tough taking a guy out of a no-hitter, but we have to think about the future and where he had come from off the DL.

Espinosa finished the series 7 for 18 (.389) with five homers and 15 RBI.Its surreal, he said. Its crazy. Im just out there having fun and Im just staying with my work every day and its paying off.
