Blue Jays' Ross Stripling: Takes loss in short outing

Stripling (0-2) yielded three runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against Houston.

Stripling was cursed by a second inning in which he allowed a two-run shot to Carlos Correa before walking in a third run. Stripling needed 82 pitches to record only 11 outs and saw his season ERA climb to 6.61. He's failed to finish five innings in three of his four outings on the year. Stripling is currently lined up to take the mound in Atlanta next week.
