Stephen Strasburg struck out eight batters in 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Astros.
After a few rough outings to start the spring, Strasburg looked like his old self Saturday. On the afternoon, the 24-year-old right-hander allowed only one run, a solo home run to Rick Ankiel. After being named the Nationals' Opening Day starter last week, Strasburg looks to be rounding into shape nicely.
