Blue Jays Series Preview: New York Yankees are looking for revenge

Game Three: Nate Eovaldi vs. Marcus Stroman
Game #3: April 14, 2016 – 7:07 ET
Marcus Stroman (1-0, 5.40 ERA, 3.74 FIP) vs.
Nate Eovaldi (0-0, 9.00 ERA, 5.61 FIP)
Marcus Stroman was hit hard by Boston in his last start, giving up five earned runs in five and a third innings (three of those runs from a Grand Slam out of the hand of Jesse Chavez and off the bat of Brock Holt).
Stroman loves to get the ball in the big games and it is no different when he is playing against his hometown team. He has enjoyed success against the Yankees, with a 4-1 record, a 2.43 ERA, and a 1.04 WHIP.
In contrast, none of the Yankees starters have enjoyed much success against Stroman. Ellsbury is 0 for 11, Beltran 1 for 8, Gardner 3 for 13, and McCann 2 for 13. He will look to right the ship at home after being visibly upset leaving the mound during Friday’s home-opener against Boston.
Nathan Eovaldi has made just one start against the Blue Jays in his career, giving up just a run in six and a third innings – Josh Donaldson is the only Blue Jay starter to hit a home run off him.
He struggled in his first start this season against the Astros as he surrendered five runs in five innings, despite taking care of business against Houston’s big three (Jose Altuve, George Springer, and Carlos Correa were 0 for 9).
