Strasburg (1-0) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks across seven innings in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies. He struck out eight en route to a no-decision.
Strasburg was dominant for stretches, but he allowed the Phillies to scratch a run across when three men reached in the second inning and two more in a similar situation in the fifth. He had no chance to earn a victory despite tossing a quality start, as the offense waited until the ninth inning to get on the board. Strasburg has been solid if unspectacular through two starts, posting a 3.21 ERA and an 11:3 K:BB ratio through 14 innings. He will next face this same Phillies team at home Friday.
