Stroman (2-0) limited the Yankees to two runs on three hits and two walks in Thursday's win. He struck out three and walked two.
The strikeout totals have been a bit disappointing early on for Stroman, who now has only 12 in 21.1 innings -- not to mention six walks, which doesn't make for a good ratio. Nonetheless, the Long Island native dominated his hometown team and demonstrated for the second time in three starts his ability to pitch deep into ballgames and preserve the bullpen. He'll draw the Orioles on Tuesday, which could create an opportunity for more strikeouts.
