Strasburg (4-1) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks across six innings in Tuesday's win over the Pirates. He struck out three.
Strasburg allowed just a solo home run through the first six innings, but he put the first two men on in the seventh and saw them come around to score after he was removed. He failed to reach five strikeouts for just the third time this season but was able to complete six frames for the seventh time in eight starts and earned his team-leading fourth win of the season. Strasburg holds a solid 3.42 ERA through 52.2 innings and will look to further improve on his season totals Sunday against the Braves.
