Former Duke baseball ace Marcus Stroman was let down by the New York Mets.
It has not been a fun month of baseball if you are a fan of the New York Mets (59-60) but the former leaders of the National League East turned to former Duke baseball ace Marcus Stroman (8-12) to get the team back on track against the San Francisco Giants (78-42) on Tuesday night in the Bay Area.
Stroman was touched up for two home runs in his outing, a 2-run shot by Tommy La Stella in the first inning and a solo bomb by Evan Longoria in the seventh inning.
