Pearce’s HR fends off Halos in Stroman’s return

The Stro Show was back in full effect as Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman made a triumphant return to the mound on Saturday night at Angel Stadium. Stroman tossed five scoreless innings in his first appearance since May 8, while Steve Pearce bailed out the bullpen with a three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to give the Blue Jays a 4-1 victory over the Angels. Teoscar Hernandez picked up a pair of hits, including his 13th home run of the season, but it was Stroman and Pearce who stole the show.
