Blue Jays announce lineup for today with surprising starting pitcher

The Toronto Blue Jays take on the Rockies today in the second game of the series and have announced their starting lineup with recent call-up Yariel Rodriguez as the starting pitcher.

It was announced yesterday that the Blue Jays called up Rodriguez from Triple-A and the Cuban pitcher is already starting his first game less than 24 hours later.





Rodriguez followed up an impressive Spring Training by playing great for the Buffalo Bisons. In 6.1 innings, he has struck out 10 batters allowing 1 hit, 3 walks and 0 runs.

The Blue Jays signed Rodriguez to a 5-year $32 million contract last winter in hopes that he would be a promising pitcher in the big leagues which we will finally get to see in action today.
