Stephen Strasburg returned from his stint on the 15 day disabled list, but didn’t leave off quite where he was before getting hurt.

The 22 year old Strasburg allowed 6 hits and 6 runs in just 4 1/3 innings pitched. He seemed to struggle a bit with his command, and allowed a few big hits at bad times. All in all, he didn’t pitch too bad considering the circumstances.

Strasburg was drafted #1 overall in last years amateur draft. He had huge expectations put on him from the start, and so far he has lived up to and passed those expectations. He is 5-3 with a 3.07 ERA this season, which is very good for a rookie.

It should be interesting to see how he responds to any adversity that he may have.
