In the second he gave up a lead-off walk but that was washed out when he induced a Buster Posey 6-4-3 DP. In the third he got a lead-off a ground out followed by a base hit. That was again followed by a 6-4-3 DP to end the inning. In the 4th, Tabata led off with a single which was followed by another ground ball out. After that he was pulled. According to USA Today, "Strasburg's fastball was clocked between 94 and 98 mph by the Chicago Cubs' radar device."
