PHILADELPHIA | Stephen Strasburg is happy to be back healthy and pitching well again.
Strasburg struck out a season-high nine batters in seven innings to lead the Washington Nationals to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the first game of a doubleheader on Sunday.
Strasburg (5-5) allowed two runs on four hits with one walk in his second good outing since returning from the disabled list.
“It’s good to be back getting into a game and getting into a routine,” he said.
