Matt Strahm Hurls A Gem Thursday
2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm tossed a gem in a winning effort over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday afternoon. The left-hander worked 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball while allowing just two hits and zero walks against five strikeouts on the afternoon. He evened his season record to 2-2 despite receiving just one run of support in a tight 1-0 victory over the visiting Mariners. Strahm had yielded six earned runs on the back of two homers and five walks across eight innings over his last two starts despite striking out a hefty 17 batters in that time. The southpaw lowered his ERA to a tidy 2.31 mark following Thursday's outing as he looks to keep up the good work in his next scheduled start Tuesday in Los Angeles against a tough Dodgers lineup.
