Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman: Throws 6.2 but earns no-decision
Stroman threw 6.2 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven, earning a no-decision Tuesday against the Padres.
Analysis:
Stroman's primary blemish came in the sixth when he allowed a three-run bomb to San Diego outfielder Alex Dickerson, which gave the Padres a 4-3 lead. Toronto tied the game in bottom of the seventh and went on to win 7-6 on a walk-off wild pitch in 12 innings. After posting a 3.65 ERA his rookie season in 2014 and missing most of 2015 due to injury, Stroman has taken a step back in 2016, sporting an ERA of 4.92. Home runs have been part of the reason for Stroman's struggles, as the Dickerson blast was Stroman's 15th allowed, more than double the seven that he allowed in 2014.
