Marcus Stroman's breaking stuff is absolutely filthy. In a game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox, he threw a wicked and rare 73 mph curveball with some serious bite. The batter, Christian Vázquez, gave a nod of approval and a smile after the showing.

You know it's a nasty pitch when the opposing team's hitter gives you props. What makes it even better is that Vázquez is a catcher, so he likely appreciates Stroman's masterpiece of a pitch.

It's little things like this within a game that makes baseball such a great sport.
