Rookie Josh Rogers was making his first major league start, but a set of stalwarts in the Orioles lineup made it as comfortable as possible for the debuting young left-hander in a 12-5 thumping of the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday night at Camden Yards.
Rogers, a 24-year-old left-hander who became the fifth player to appear in the major leagues out of the 15 the team acquired in a slew of July trades, allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings to earn his first major league win and help the Orioles take a second straight game from the visitors from Toronto.
