PHOENIX -- Stephen Strasburg even gave himself a little offensive support in picking up his major league-leading 15th win Monday night.Strasburg made it look easy on the mound and the Washington Nationals did the same with the bats, collecting 19 hits. Anthony Rendon drove in three runs, Daniel Murphy went 3 for 3 and the Nationals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-1.Strasburg (15-1) allowed a run and three hits in six innings, striking out six and walking two. He also had three hits and an RBI.You tell yourself theres a lot of game left and you just have to go out there and do your job, Strasburg said of the early offense. I try and be aggressive every time.Murphy raised his NL-leading batting average to .355 before exiting the game in the top of the fifth inning after he doubled in a run. Murphy was back in the Nationals starting lineup for the first time since last Friday, when he left due to hamstring tightness.Manager Dusty Baker said Murphy had to do a lot of running, so he took him out with game well in hand.He scored from first, then he had to run on the double, then he scored from second, Baker said. So that was enough running for the night. Were trying to keep him for the remainder of the season.Murphy seemed to understand.I do what the skipper says, Murphy said. Less second-guessing that way.Rendon had two hits and is batting .333 with 12 RBI and four doubles since July 16. Wilson Ramos also had three hits and two RBI, and Bryce Harper scored three runs.Arizona starter Archie Bradley (4-7) was roughed up for eight runs and 12 hits in 3 1/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.The Nationals jumped on Bradley in the first inning, loading the bases with a one-out infield single by Jayson Werth and walks to Harper and Murphy. Rendon followed with a sacrifice fly, and Ramos, Clint Robinson and Danny Espinosa had RBI singles to make it 4-0.Werth reached base for the 34th straight game.That was just a head-scratcher, Bradley said. You really toss that one out the window and move on. It was one of those outings you can get too deep and overthink it in what went wrong and why, and then just end up losing your mind.The Diamondbacks run came in the bottom of the inning. Jean Segura led off with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on Paul Goldschmidts grounder.Rendon had a two-run double in the second to push the Nationals lead to 6-1. Washington scored three runs in the fifth and five in the eighth.New Washington closer Mark Melancon, acquired from Pittsburgh in the days leading up to Mondays trade deadline, made his Nationals debut in a mop-up role, pitching a scoreless ninth inning.Same stuff we saw on the other side, Baker said of Melancon. We know he throws strikes, we know hes tough to hit.DIAMONDBACKS STAND PAT ON DEADLINE DAYArizona made a couple of deals before Mondays deadline, but nothing on the final day although contending teams expressed some to a lot of interest in young pitchers, according to chief baseball officer Tony La Russa. The problem was that everyone they were interested in were guys we wanted to keep, La Russa said. There wasnt anything that was close to making sense based on how we evaluate our club.La Russa said over the rest of the season, hed like to see how the players respond to the adversity of a losing record. Arizona is 43-63 after Mondays loss. To me, the most pressing issue is the spirit and the toughness not to give into our record, he said.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: INF Ryan Zimmerman has a sore wrist and is day-to-day after X-rays didnt reveal anything broken.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke will pitch for Triple-A Reno in Salt Lake City on Wednesday as he continues to move toward a return from a left oblique strain. ...

Custom Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break.Sikki Reddy says that her new partnership with Ashwini Ponnappa was formed with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as the ultimate goal and the Asian Games two years hence as the first step.Sikkis decision to team up with Ashwini came after the latter broke up with Jwala Gutta, three months after they competed at the 2016 Olympics. Jwala has called time on her womens doubles career and Sikki - currently ranked 111 in womens doubles and 23 in mixed doubles - hopes she will be able to take her place in the partnership with Ashwini.One month back, our Malaysian doubles coach Kim Tan Her, Gopi bhaiyya, Ashwini and I had a discussion and we decided to pair up. Of course, 2020 Tokyo was a reason but that is too far away, four long years, and we want to just focus on the smaller events now, Sikki told PTI.We are a scratch pairing so we have no ranking. We have to start with smaller events and make our way up. I hope we can gather some good ranking points and then target the Super Series and big events. 2018 Commonwealth Games and Asian Games will be the immediate targets for us.Sikki and Ashwini will be playing the Scottish Open (Nov 23-27), Welsh International (Nov 30-Dec 3) and Irish Open Dec 7-10) this year before combining again at the Malaysia Masters (Jan 17-22) and Syed Modi International (Jan 24-29) next year..ddddddddddddSpeaking about the partnership, Ashwini said: When I started with Jwala, I had zero exposure to international badminton but it is not the case with Sikki. She is experienced and has done well in mixed doubles. She has played super series events. So I think we will not take much time to gel well.The 23-year-old Sikki is left-handed like Jwala. Sikki said that being left-handed give her an additional advantage.Being a lefty is a big positive as I have got a lot of variations in my strokes. Of course, she has more experience in womens doubles and needs to guide me and believe in me, said Sikki, who had clinched the 2016 Brazil Grand Prix with Pranaav Jerry Chopra in mixed doubles.Asked how different is their combination from her pairing with Jwala, Ashwini said: There are few things which are quite different; Sikki and me can rotate more than before. If I move towards the net, she can cover the back of the court and vice versa.But we need to work on our strengths and weaknesses and it is going to be a great learning experience for the initial year for us, added Ashwini, who will also be pairing up with K Nanadagopal in mixed doubles in the upcoming three events.
