The competitive Stroman also made it clear he’s not interested in missing the final month of a frustrating season.“I don’t like sitting,” Stroman said. “I only get to go out there one every five days to begin with. Being out there every fifth day is a priority. I hate being on the DL. I hate watching. I hate not being out there. It frustrates me, it kills me inside. I’m going to do everything in my power to be out there.”Rays outfielder Mallex Smith said he hadn’t forgotten about Stroman holding Tampa Bay to one run over five innings on Aug. 12, and enjoyed turning the tables on the Toronto righty.“Definitely,” Smith said. “You come in with that mindset, ‘I’m going to get him back,’ and we did.”Kevin Kiermaier returned after missing Sunday’s game because of a sore back and had three hits and an RBI http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , coming within a home run of the cycle.

Zimmermann struck out four while falling to 1-5 with a 5.85 ERA in his past six starts.“I thought I threw a lot of good pitches, but I wasn’t putting guys away with two strikes,” he said. “I had the four strikeouts, but there were too many times where I left a two-strike pitch over the plate to get hit.”The White Sox scored twice in the third.
