ARLINGTON, Texas — A season that has already been pretty special for Ross Stripling hit another high point in Texas on Friday night.
Stripling wasn’t around to the earn the decision in the Jays 4-3 win Friday, but he more than did his part getting the Jays through six with the lead and ensuring the bullpen wouldn’t be overly taxed with a bullpen start pending Sunday.
On hand were Stripling’s mom and dad, his wife Shelby and 18-month-old son Jackson along with 72 other relatives or friends all there to see Stripling do his thing.It was a big moment and Stripling managed to have all the ticket requests handled and arranged by Wednesday giving him the off-day Thursday to spend with his wife and son.
But in 2017 with the Dodgers taking on the Houston Astros in the World Series, Stripling got his first real taste of playing at home and the demands that entails. Stripling is a start away from matching the most he has ever made in a season and his ERA of 3.03 trails only that 2018 season when he finished up with a career best 3.02 ERA. His next win will also match his career high in that category of eight also set in 2018.
So, he went to work on it and actually benefitted from the delayed start to the season taking an already season-ready arm back to Houston with him where he put in even more work on that particular pitch.Article content
