Stroman allowed five runs (three earned) over five innings against the Yankees in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. He gave up six hits and a walk and did not factor in the decision.
Most of the damage against Stroman came in a three-run second inning that included a two-run double by Kyle Higashioka. The 30-year-old righty failed to record a strikeout and now owns a 78:25 K:BB through 93.2 frames. It was just the second time over his last nine starts that he allowed three or more earned runs. Stroman will carry a 2.60 ERA into next week's projected home start against the Pirates.
