Only a two-run double by Detroit hitting machine Victor Martinez probably prevented Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman from snagging his fourth win in five decisions.
Stroman yielded the hit in the sixth inning after pitching shutout ball. He finished with a career-high nine innings pitched and four hits allowed with three walks and four strikeouts. The outing served as a bounce-back from a poor performance in his last start.
The rookie, who lowered his ERA to 3.34 with the no-decision, is set to pitch again Friday against the host White Sox.
