Strasburg (13-3) gave up six earned runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Braves. He struck out seven.
Strasburg couldn't find his groove for the second straight start, despite notching first-pitch strikes on 20 of 25 batters and inducing 13 swinging strikes overall. His troubles started early, as Freddie Freeman touched up him up for an RBI double in the first and Jace Peterson followed with a solo shot to right center in the second. Freeman then came back with a three-run blast in the fifth that gave the Braves a 5-3 lead at the time. Strasburg has now given up 10 earned runs over his last two starts, both losses. He'll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Rockies next Wednesday.
