Left fielder Brandon Nimmo responded with a lead-off double. He was followed by right fielder Juan Soto, who was looking to exact revenge on his former team after an abysmal first go-around where he went 1-for-10 in the Bronx — and he did.

Stroman is once again allowing more hits than innings pitched (9.4 per nine innings) while also striking out hitters at a career-low rate (five per nine innings). He looked better in his return from knee inflammation last time out, allowing three hits over five innings against the Athletics, but he may have been a bit lucky.
