When Cubs starter Marcus Stroman is off his game, it could be a long day. When the Cardinals’ lineup is on its game, it could be a long day. When both happen, the day seems like it will never end.
Such was Stroman’s fate in a career-worst outing Friday. The veteran right-hander allowed nine runs and 10 hits in four innings in a 14-5 loss at Wrigley Field. All but one of the runs Stroman allowed came with two outs.
