Jimenez has been spectacular for the Orioles over the past five weeks, returning to the starting rotation after a demotion to the bullpen. His last start came against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Thursday, when he tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings to help lift Baltimore into a tie for the top AL Wild Card spot. After posting a 7.38 ERA in the first half of the season, the 32-year-old right-hander has gone 3-3 with a 2.82 ERA.
In five career postseason starts, all with the Rockies in 2007 and 2009, Jimenez is 0-2 with a 3.54 ERA.
