From Rotoworld:Stroman surrendered four runs in seven innings Tuesday in a win over the White Sox. Stroman and Tim Anderson were involved in a brief benches-clearing incident during the game, but nothing came from it. Stroman’s win was his first in four starts since the break, though he pitched plenty well enough to win two of his previous outings. He’s 10-5 with a 3.19 ERA.
Fiers lost after giving up six runs in 6 1/3 innings against the Rays. Fiers survived giving up five runs in the first three innings and faced just one batter over the minimum through the next three frames. He was pulled after a one-out walk to Corey Dickerson in the seventh, and Dickerson came around to score off Reymin Guduan. That marked the first time all season that Fiers had been charged with six runs. He fell to 7-6 with a 3.97 ERA.
