No in The Bronx, but still New York, Stroman made his first start ad a Met at PNC Park against the Pirates.
Stroman who has always been an American League pitcher, had to face a Pirates Lineup that’s trying to have a better second half of the season.
Stroman faced 22 batters and threw 92 pitches in 4.1 innings of work in which he gave up 7 hits and allowed 3 earned runs, and struck out 3 batters.
Even though Stroman came out of the game with the Mets trailing 2-1, he came out with no decision since the Mets were able to comeback and win the game 7-5.
Stroman is set to make his first start at home this upcoming Friday against the Washington Nationals, a tea that the Mets are hoping to beat in an attempt to get back on the race for the division title.
