Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman stumbled for the first time as a starter Tuesday, in a 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
After opening his career with three quality starts in a row, Stroman could not make it out of the fourth inning this time around. He was chased after allowing two runs in 3 2/3 innings on 98 pitches, with four hits and three walks. He also struck out a career-low two batters in the game.
Stroman has still posted very good numbers as a starter, sporting a 2.91 ERA and 2-2 record since moving out of the bullpen. He will try to get back on track in his next outing, Sunday in Cincinnati.
