Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg coughed up a four-run as he served up homers in the eighth and ninth innings in Thursday's contest against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. He received a no-decision.

Strasburg, made his first start since he was ejected on Aug. 11, allowed a solo home run to Brian Bogusevic in the eighth and fell an out shy of picking up his second career complete game before he served up a two-run, game-tying home run to Donnie Murphy. The right-hander yielded four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 8 2/3 innings pitched.

Strasburg has allowed six earned runs over his last 18 2/3 innings pitched. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at home against Miami. He is 1-1 with a 7.00 ERA in two starts against the Marlins this season.
