Marcus Stroman

Aaron Judge, Marcus Stroman and Aaron Boone react to the New York Yankees' 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

Stroman struck out five and didn't walk a batter but he also allowed two home runs. He posted a solid 25 percent whiff rate and 30 percent CSW in what was a solid performance overall. He'll now take his 3.51 ERA into a tough showdown in Boston.

Nestor Cortes, Marcus Stroman and Carlos Rodon are in line to take the ball for the remainder of a four-game series against the division-rival Rays coming out of the All-Star break. That leaves Luis Gil to draw the starting assignment for Tuesday's highly-anticipated Subway Series opener against the Mets.

Stroman was in control early on, but wound up being lifted in the fifth inning after loading the bases with only one out in the frame. He allowed seven hits, struck out two and also handed out a pair of free passes. He'll bring a respectable 3.51 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 78/47 K/BB ratio across 105 innings (19 starts) into the All-Star break.
