“Before the game, in the pen I was throwing a million. “Obviously this isn’t the way I wanted to start the season,” Sanchez said. He would go on to face 18 batters and threw a first-pitch strike to just four of them and only one of those strikes reached the catcher’s glove. He had poor command of a fastball that lacked its usual sinking action. The Blue Jays’ only run came on an Edwin Encarnacion RBI single with two out in the ninth inning, after Steve Tolleson had led off with a double off Baltimore closer Zach Britton.įrom the moment that DeAza hit Sanchez’s second pitch of the ballgame over the wall in right it was clear this would not be the young right-hander’s night. That’s the best we’ve seen him since he came over here. “He was hitting the corners, throwing a lot of strikes. But the key to the game was Jimenez, he was that good. “I thought (Sanchez) was a little strong, thought he looked a little revved up for his first start,” said manager John Gibbons. He struck out eight and walked just one.Īlejandro DeAza and Chris Davis each hit first-inning home runs off Sanchez, while second-baseman Jonathan Schoop delivered the killing blow, a grandslam home run off reliever Todd Redmond in the fifth. He had the Blue Jays lineup - which had 16 hits the night before - off-balance from the his first pitch to his 96th. Jimenez, on the other hand, made perhaps his best start in several years for the O’s, allowing only one solitary single, while striking out eight over seven brilliant innings.

Making his first major-league start for the Blue Jays, Sanchez simply didn’t have any answers for the Baltimore Orioles, who abused him for two first-inning home runs and sent him packing after 31/3 mediocre innings on their way to a 7-1 laugher. On a night that Aaron Sanchez would like to forget, Ubaldo Jimenez dined out on some treasured memories.
