Yankees' Marcus Stroman 'needs to be better' after uneven first start
Briefly

The New York Yankees' overpowering offense in the early season has alleviated pressure on their pitchers, allowing them more leeway in game performance. Marcus Stroman, the Yankees' No. 3 starter for the season, experienced this benefit during a recent matchup against the Brewers, where he allowed three runs but still secured a win due to the team's high-scoring performance. Manager Aaron Boone praised Stroman's overall execution despite minor flaws, highlighting improved defense which supported the pitching efforts. The team's strong start and error-free defense signal a promising season ahead.
"I thought I threw the ball pretty well," Stroman said. "Made a few bad pitches, but overall... to keep this offense in the game is definitely key."
"Bauers got him. Would have liked to have gotten him through [five] there, but... I thought he carried that in and had a pretty sharp first outing."
