The Strasburg Express arrived on time Monday and operated with Strasburgian efficiency.In his first major-league game in more than a year, the post-Tommy John surgery Stephen Strasburg positioned himself for a victory despite a reported 60-pitch limit, shutting out the Dodgers on only 56 pitches over five innings."They say the most difficult aspect for pitchers returning from Tommy John isn’t necessarily velocity, but control," wrote David Schoenfield of ESPN.com. "Strasburg had no issues with location in this game."On the opposite end of the spectrum, Dodger veteran Ted Lilly suffered through a 32-pitch inning, came away with a scoreless tie (and three strikeouts), then gave up three runs in the second, two of them earned, the other coming thanks in large part to his throwing error.
Dodgers don't stress Strasburg, rally off relievers
