Stephen StrasburgVIERA, Fla. -- The future of the Nationals made his first start in a Washington uniform Tuesday.

Before the game, Stephen Strasburg was being laughed at by his teammates.

It seems that when they tried to relieve the tension he was feeling by talking to him, Strasburg had trouble getting any words out in response.

"We were all laughing,'' fellow Washington pitcher Miguel Batista said after Strasburg's two innings of shutout baseball in his debut against Detroit. "He was sitting there, we were trying to calm him down, and he really couldn't say anything.''

Stephen StrasburgVIERA, Fla. -- It might not be the toughest step Stephen Strasburg takes all season, but the first one in his professional career was an adventure on Tuesday.

Apparently 28 pitches weren't enough for Strasburg's first spring start. The rookie threw 12-15 more pitches in the bullpen after he was done on the mound. He also stayed around to watch the game, instead of hitting the showers early.

According to Nationals manager Jim Riggleman, Strasburg will rest for two days and then throw a bullpen session. He'll then take another day of rest before pitching again on, "typical five days of rest", said Riggleman.
