Jays starter Marcus Stroman, third from left, was forced from Saturday's game after taking a line drive off his right elbow. ( Gail Burton / The Associated Press )BALTIMORE—The Blue Jays won a game but lost a starter on a rainy Saturday, when Marcus Stroman was forced out of a 7-2 win over the Orioles early after taking a line drive to the elbow. But the concern came well before the power outburst, when Stroman exited the game in the second inning with a right elbow contusion. Stroman, rocking flashy gold cleats for the occasion, retired five of six batters before coming up against Baltimore’s Mark Trumbo. It’s a 108-mile-per-hour line drive.” There was a lot of pressure, a lot of pain, and swelling right on the spot.
