Strasburg struck out five batters in two innings of work Saturday, but also surrendered a two-run home run to Bryan Holaday.
The outing was almost a microcosm of Strasburg's career, as stretches of dominance were marred by a costly mistake. After throwing just 127.1 innings last year due to a variety of injuries, Strasburg will need to stay healthy to put together the kind of season everyone's been waiting for since he made his dazzling major league debut in 2010.
