Stroman (8-4) picked up the win Wednesday in Arizona. He gave up a lone run on eight hits while striking out six over eight innings.
Wednesday marked the first time all season in which Stroman didn't issue a walk while pitching four-plus innings. Coming off one of his worst starts of the year, the right-hander looked noticeably improved throughout his 99-pitch effort. He didn't allow an extra-base hit and recorded most of his outs on the ground en route to his third quality start in four tries. Stroman's ability to keep the ball down in the zone helped shave his ERA from 5.15 to 4.90.
