Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg worked past some early troubles and managed to escape Friday's start against the Phillies with a no-decision.

Strasburg served up a three-run home run to Marlon Byrd in the opening frame for his lone damage of the night. He was charged with three unearned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings. He tossed 83 pitches, 57 for strikes.

Strasburg has posted a 3.60 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP over 40 innings. He has a 58:13 K:BB ratio over that span. He'll make his next start Friday at Oakland.
