Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg returned to Grapefruit League action Tuesday against the Tigers after making his last start in a minor-league game due to an ingrown toenail.
Strasburg didn't appear to be slowed at all by his toenail issue, as he tossed four scoreless innings in a 6-4 win. Strasburg (1-0) allowed three hits and no walks, while striking out five.
He lowered his ERA from 10.80 to 3.18 in his second spring start. He has seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
