Stephen Strasburg pitched seven innings of one-run ball, striking out seven, in a no-decision against the Giants on Tuesday.

Strasburg has allowed just two earned runs in his last three starts, dropping his ERA from 3.45 to 2.66. That overstates how well he's pitched -- he's given up nine unearned runs this season -- but tonight's performance was maybe the most impressive one he's put together this year and should give him something to build on.

Stephen Strasburg gave up two runs -- one earned -- over eight innings as the Nationals vanquished the Padres 6-2 on Thursday.

He walked three and struck out four, hurling 117 pitches before ceding to Rafael Soriano. Strasburg again wasn't at his best -- only 68 of those tosses were strikes -- but he handcuffed San Diego regardless. The 24-year-old right-hander has been considered a fantasy disappointment to this point, despite possessing a 2.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 55/18 K/BB rate. If everyone were judged similarly, we'd all be unemployed.

Stephen Strasburg (arm) tossed a free and easy bullpen session on Wednesday at Turner Field.

The talented 24-year-old right-hander owns a 3.13 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 36/12 K/BB ratio in 37 1/3 innings (six starts) this season.

Stephen Strasburg (forearm) said that he will not miss his next start.

The Nationals might take the decision out of his hands, but it's a good sign that the forearm tightness he's dealing with isn't serious. Strasburg has been given medication and will be examined further by the team's medical staff before they make a decision about his next outing.
