WASHINGTON -- Stephen Strasburg winced and, no doubt, so did everyone else who roots for the Washington Nationals.The Washington ace felt a pinch in the back of his right elbow in the third inning and was forced to make an early exit Wednesday night in his first start since returning from the disabled list.With a stadium full of teammates and fans wondering what went wrong, the NL East leaders went on to defeat Atlanta 5-4 in 11 innings.After the game ended well past midnight, the Nationals said Strasburg would get an MRI. They didnt elaborate on the severity of his injury.He had good command, manager Dusty Baker said. Usually if somethings wrong you dont have command. So were hoping that its something minor, but well find out tomorrow.Strasburg had been out since Aug. 17 because of soreness in the same elbow. The right-hander left after 2 1/3 innings, allowing a run on two hits.He did everything that was asked of him (before the start), Baker said. He was cleared. He wasnt trying to be a hero. He said he felt fine, but a lot of times you really dont know until you get into the action.Strasburg wasnt in the clubhouse after the game.He didnt stick around because hes just both frustrated and upset, Baker said.With Braves pitcher Mike Foltynewicz attempting to bunt after Dansby Swansons leadoff double, Strasburgs 0-2 pitch sailed high.Strasburg grimaced, walked around the mound and then threw another pitch, retiring Foltynewicz.Washingtons trainer came out and Strasburg departed, covering his mouth with his glove as he reached the dugout.Strasburg struck out four and walked none. He threw 42 pitches.I felt very bad for him, catcher Ramos said. He was throwing such a good game. He was locating his pitches very well. His velocity was very good.Before going on the disabled list, he allowed 19 runs over his final three starts, including nine in 1 2/3 innings against Colorado last time out.Strasburg started out 13-0 this season, and went into this game with a 15-4 record.The 28-year-old Strasburg made his big league debut in 2010 but needed Tommy John surgery later that season.Earlier this year, the two-time All-Star signed a $175 million, seven-year contract that goes into effect next season.Jayson Werth drew a leadoff walk in the 11th and Daniel Murphy followed with a double off Jed Bradley (1-1). After Bryce Harper was intentionally walked to load the bases, Wilson Ramos singled off Brandon Cunniff to win it.Mat Latos (1-0 with Washington), the 10th Nationals pitcher, got one out for the win.Atlantas Jace Peterson and Washingtons Anthony Rendon traded RBI singles in the 10th.Swanson homered for the second straight game, this time sending one over the fence following Tuesday nights inside-the-park home run.The rookie said he was getting a lot of playful kidding for his first career homer being an inside-the-park, so I figured this one would be a bit easier on my psyche.Murphys two-run single in the seventh tied the score at 3 and gave him 100 RBI for the season.The start of the game was delayed 57 minutes, though it ultimately only rained lightly during the early portion of the game.CENTURY MARKMurphy posted the sixth 100-RBI season in Nationals history (2005-present) and the first since Adam LaRoche had 100 in 2012.STREAKINGAtlantas Ender Inciarte extended his hitting streak to 18 games with an 11th-inning single, and Freddie Freeman upped his string to 14 games.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: The team reinstated INF Stephen Drew, who missed 40 games due to vertigo-like symptoms.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Julio Tehran (5-9, 3.01) starts when the Braves open a three-game series Friday against the Mets. He has allowed two runs over 13 innings while winning his last two starts.Nationals: RHP A.J. Cole (1-1, 3.86) makes his fourth start of the season when the Nationals host the Phillies on Thursday.

A turnover by Kevin Shattenkirk allowed Suter to break in and after Allen made the initial save he was able to bury the rebound.Allen kept the game even robbing Eric Staal on a breakaway seven minutes into the second period.
