LONDON (AP) — Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman left Chicago’s 7-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in the fourth inning with a blister on his right index finger. Stroman entered the game with an NL-best 2.28 ERA and was 7-0 in his last seven starts going into the series finale in London. Stroman was pulled with one out in the fourth after Paul Goldschmidt put the Cardinals ahead 5-4 on a sharp single that scored Tommy Edman. He allowed six runs, three earned, and eight hits and had two strikeouts and a walk. Cubs manager David Ross says he doesn’t know if Stroman will be ready for his next start.
