Stroman (10-6) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on nine hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out five.
The 33-year-old picked up his ninth quality start with this 98-pitch performance despite yielding nine hits, matching a season-worst total set July 27 against Boston. However, Stroman only allowed one extra-base hit -- a Paul Goldschmidt double in the second -- as he notched his second walk-free outing of the season. This marks the fifth season in which Stroman has collected double-digit wins in his 10-year career. The veteran righty has pitched to a 3.81 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 102:57 K:BB across 139.1 innings this season. He currently lines up to face the Rangers on the road for his next start.
