Strasburg makes AA debut

Written by Mark Buterbaugh on . Posted in Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals 2009 first round phenom Stephen Strasburg (1-0) made his minor league debut today in AA Harrisburg.  Strasburg also won his very first start today, as the Harrisburg Senators rallied form a 4-0 deficit to defeat Altoona 6-4.

Strasburg tossed 5 innings, allowing 4 runs, of which only 1 run earned, and scattered 4 hits while striking out 8 batters.  Better yet, fellow 2009 first rounder, the tenth overall pick, Drew Storen, picked up his first save of the season, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings of relief, striking out 2 batters.  A good day for Nationals 2009 first rounders.
