Despite suffering his first loss in 16 start, Stroman is not concerned about his performance, or that of the struggling Jays, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Known for his ability to induce ground balls -- Stroman's 62.3 percent ground-ball rate entering the night was tops among pitchers in the American League -- it was that same strength which bit the recent Duke university graduate on Tuesday. While Stroman did get nine ground-ball outs, he also gave up a majority of his hits on hard hit ground balls and low line drives, and he saw his eleven game unbeaten streak at home come to an end. "That's part of the game, that's baseball," Stroman said about the frustration of the Rays' hitters finding gaps. "You really have to put it in perspective and know that, and do everything you can to wash the start whether it be good or bad, and focus the next four days preparing for the next one. I realize I'm going to have days like that. I never get discouraged regardless of the outing and never take my starts into the next one."
