Stroman (7-3) gave up a two-run single with the bases loaded in the third inning before giving up four straight hits to open the fourth and getting pulled from the game. He had allowed just one earned run on 11 hits and four walks in 21 innings over his three previous starts. Stroman owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 68:18 K:BB ratio in 77 1/3 innings. He's slated to take on the Tigers Saturday.
