Marcus Stroman displays big-game grit to stop Yankees’ skid
NY Post
There was no five-alarm fire in The Bronx. The Bronx was not Burning.
But manager Aaron Boone was looking for volunteers to extinguish the possibility of the season’s first four-game losing streak, and Marcus Stroman hosed down any embers of billowing hysteria among Yankees fans with an 8-3 win over the Braves.
Stroman surrendered a Marcell Ozuna first-inning homer, then held the Braves hitless following a second-inning Austin Riley single until Travis d’Arnaud’s opposite-field two-run home run with two outs in the seventh. Stroman held up his glove and applauded the fans who applauded him on his way off the mound into the dugout.
The Stro Show showed out at the best possible time.
Stroman rode the momentum boost that Aaron Judge’s two-run home run in the first gave him and never looked back.
If he had, he would have seen Judge marveling in center field at his Stro Show.
