Strasburg (8-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings but received no decision Friday against the Reds.
Strasburg was clobbered for four runs in the first inning before settling down, but the Nationals were able to provide enough offense after his departure to take him off the hook for a potential loss. This is the second time over his last three starts in which he's allowed at least five runs, and as a result his ERA has moved from 2.91 to 3.57. Regardless, as long as he remains healthy, he'll continue to be a high-upside fantasy option. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Cubs.
