Houston's J.A. Happ went two innings, giving up one run and three hits with one strikeout.

Strasburg, who made just five starts last year after coming back from Tommy John surgery, gave up a solo homer in the bottom of third to Houston catcher Chris Snyder. He left with a runner on second and two outs in the inning.

Houston's Fernando Martinez had a double and a three-run homer. J.D. Martinez also homered for the Astros.

Washington's 19-year-old outfielder Bryce Harper went 1 for 2 with a single and a strikeout.
