So much went on during last night’s chaotic 6-3 win over the Blue Jays that reliever Ian Hamilton’s injury almost got buried in the madness. The right-hander had a difficult task in front of him when he suddenly had to take the hill in the fourth inning following Domingo Germán’s ejection for foreign substances, and he wasn’t exactly on his game.
Hamilton had sparkled with a 1.27 ERA and 1.66 FIP in 15 appearances (far exceeding preseason expectations as a non-roster invitee to spring training), but he allowed a hit and walked two batters while recording just two outs.
