Marcus Stroman sure sounds like a pitcher who knows he has pitched his last game in Toronto as a Blue Jay.

Stroman, who has been mentioned as a possible target for the Yankees, allowed one run and five hits in seven innings in the Blue Jays’ 4-0 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday night, further burnishing his credentials before next week’s trade deadline. The righty pitched seven shutout innings to beat Detroit last Friday.

The fiery Stroman gestured to the stands and yelled “This is my house!” as he walked off the field following the top of the seventh.

“I just thought it could be my last outing here,” Stroman said afterward, wearing a visor with the words ‘Let me be me’ on it.

“I’ve always been emotional, I feel like I’ve had a pretty good tenure as a Blue Jay,” said Stroman, who was born in Medford, N.Y. “There’s been no willingness from the front office to sign me, so I’ve just kind of come to terms with it and I’m ready to dominate, wherever that may be, absolutely dominate.”

The loss was Stroman’s first since June 20 at Texas, ending a streak of five unbeaten starts and dropping him to 6-11 with a 2.96 ERA on the season.
