STRATTON Daily Journal, wire reports Chris Stratton made a strong return to the major leagues on Saturday night. The former Tupelo standout, a first-round draft pick out of Mississippi State in 2012, pitched three innings of hitless relief for San Francisco in a 12-3 loss at Colorado. He struck out three and walked one. “I felt comfortable out there,” said Stratton, who made seven relief appearances for the big-league club last season.
