If Marlins’ starter Trevor Rogers does in fact turn around his season, May 8, 2022, may just be the date he remembers most from this calendar year.
On Mother’s Day Sunday, the 24-year-old entered play with a 6.14 ERA and league-leading 4 losses. Fast forward 93 pitches through 5 scoreless innings, and the potential Rogers turnaround may have just begun.
At the outset, though, it appeared more of the same for Rogers, with 4 of the first 5 hitters reaching 3 ball counts. 7 Padres hitters would see 3 ball counts on the day, albeit with just 3 hits and 2 walks to show for it.
