Marcus Stroman Shines in Yankees Win Over Cardinals

Marcus Stroman delivered a strong performance for the Yankees, pitching seven innings and allowing just two earned runs on nine hits in a 6-3 victory against the Cardinals. This outing marked his fourth consecutive quality start, during which he has allowed only six earned runs over 23 innings, significantly improving his season ERA to 3.81. Stroman's success is attributed to mechanical adjustments made during a brief hiatus from pitching, leading to better control and execution of his pitches. He demonstrated notable command, striking out five without issuing any walks and limiting the Cardinals to just one extra-base hit. Yankees manager Aaron Boone and catcher Austin Wells both praised Stroman's improved mechanics and late-game performance, highlighting his ability to face the minimum over the final four innings of the game. With this win, Stroman improved to 10-6 on the season, marking a successful milestone in his 10-year career.
