Stroman's Bronx struggles continue

NEW YORK -- Marcus Stroman gained a reputation of being an innings-eater during the early stages of his career, but that hasn't been the case this month, thanks in large part to a blister on his right middle finger that just won't go away.

Stroman was limited to five innings or fewer for the third time in four outings on Friday night in the Blue Jays' 7-5 rain-shortened loss to the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. He allowed five runs on six hits and a pair of walks over four frames while throwing 54 of his 88 pitches for strikes.
