It’s been 6 years and 1 month since Stroman’s complete game against the Los Angeles Angels on April 24, 2017 (9 innings, 7 hits, 2 runs), and the shutout is the second time in his career since the Cubs on September 9, 2014. . Both were with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Leading Seiya Suzuki advanced through second base with an infield hit and an opponent’s error to third base with Dansby Swanson’s deep fly to center field, and Tuchman sent Suzuki home with a deep fly to right field.
