Strasburg impressive again

Stephen Strasburg had one rough outing in his second Arizona Fall League (AFL) start.  Since then, he has strung together two quite impressive performances.  Tonight was the back to back impressive outing as he improved to 3-1.

Strasburg pitched 5 innings of 4 hit ball, allowing 1 run and striking out 6 in his 4th AFL start.   It was Strasburg's longest outing in 4 starts.

The 21-year-old sensation out of San Diego State made his delayed fourth AFL outing on five days' rest to set him up to start Saturday's Rising Stars Game, and he again looked the part.

Strasburg was consistent and methodical with flashes of awe-provoking stuff in raising his record to 3-1 and lowering his ERA to 5.28.

"It's a long progression," he said. "I just want to fine-tune everything. You can't settle for what you've done in the past. They might figure you out, so you always have to be ready.

"It was a pretty decent day."

Over Strasburg's last 2 starts, he has given up 2 runs on 9.2 innings allowing 5 hits and whiffing 11 batters.
