Live Blog: Opening Day 5

Top of the fifth.  Dempster has an easy inning and actually gets the first two guys in the Nats order out.

Bottom of the fifth.  Nothing doing, three up and three down.  Curiously, the Cubs are not striking out much against Strasburg, who is a strikeout pitcher.

Top of the sixth.  Ryan Zimmerman must be feeling bad, having hit two likely homers that came down well inside the park.  Dempster continued to dominate LaRoche and Werth.  I notice Gorzelanny is warming up.  I wonder if Strasburg is on a pitch count, although so far he has thrown only 60.

Bottom of the sixth.  Strasburg still in there.  Nothing doing for the Cubs including a couple of whiffs.
