Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg bounced back with a dominant outing as he picked up his fourth win of the season Friday night against the Rockies.

Strasburg (4-6) surrendered a run-scoring single to DJ LeMahieu in the third for his only mistake of the night. He gave up one run on five hits while striking out nine in seven innings pitched in a 2-1 win.

"He threw great," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said of Strasburg. "We've been scoring practically nothing (for him). ... It was a big win for him and for us."

Strasburg has allowed one earned run or fewer in each of his last seven starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Thursday at home against the Diamondbacks.
