This should come as little surprise, given that the Nationals aren't insane, but anyway, according to Ed Price:
Nationals mgr Jim Riggleman on WFAN said #Strasburg won't go to 100 pitches tonight, unlikely to go more than 6 innings.
The Pirates have one of the worst offenses in baseball, with a .307 team OBP and a below-average number of pitches per plate appearance, and for good measure they've been worse against righties than lefties. Unless something goes wrong, Strasburg should be able to approach or reach those six innings with little problem.

Not surprised at all
The Nats are going to be very careful with him and personally I think they should. It would be demoralizing to the franchise if he went on the DL early on in his career.
