LONDON — Marcus Stroman felt the heat in his right index finger as he warmed up in the bullpen Sunday before the second game of the London Series.
It was a familiar feeling. As a sinker-slider pitcher, he puts a lot of pressure on that finger, so he’s dealt with blisters in the same spot before. That was the first sign that the Stro Show’s first date in London was going to be cut short, as the Cubs fell 7-5 to the Cardinals on Sunday.
