Pearce's HR fends off Halos in Stroman's return

ANAHEIM -- The Stro Show was back in full effect as Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman made a triumphant return to the mound on Saturday night at Angel Stadium.

Stroman tossed five scoreless innings just a few hours after he was activated from the 10-day disabled list. In his first appearance since May 8, Stroman scattered six hits and walked one, while Steve Pearce bailed out the bullpen with a three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to give the Blue Jays a 4-1 victory over the Angels.

Teoscar Hernandez picked up a pair of hits, including his 13th home run of the season, but it was Stroman and Pearce who stole the show.
