Stroman (6-5) was charged with the loss against the Cubs on Thursday despite allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight across seven innings.
Aside from serving up a two-run homer to Javier Baez in the first inning, Stroman turned in a brilliant performance against the Cubs, while tying a season-high with eight punchouts. Unfortunately, he was strapped with a tough loss after receiving zero run support. The right-hander, who has been the most consistent pitcher for the Mets thus far, has now tossed between six and seven frames in his last eight starts, with three or fewer runs allowed in seven of those outings. Stroman lines up to take the mound at home Tuesday against Atlanta.
