"It's disappointing," Jimenez said of his recent struggles to go deep. "As a starting pitcher you want to get deeper and give your team a chance to win. But it's just part of the game. I have to keep working and find a way to move on and get ready for my next one."
After allowing a pair of first-inning runs to former teammate Nelson Cruz, Jimenez looked to be finding his stride and retired 12 of 13. But things went awry in the fifth and he lost Seth Smith on an 0-2 count, leading to a one-out walk.
