Stephen Strasburg missed a start with neck pain, but excelled in his return to the mound on Saturday.

Making his first start in 12 days, Strasburg threw a one-hit shutout ball through 3 2/3 innings of work.

"It was a good day. My goal was just to go out there and pound it in the strike zone," he said.
