Well, the season didn’t exactly start on a positive note for Francisco Liriano. The 33 year old who is beginning his first full season as a Blue Jay got his first regular season start on Friday night, and it was nothing short of a disaster.
Liriano couldn’t make it out of the first inning, being removed from the game with the bases loaded and only one out. All told he would finish with 0.1 innings pitched, 3 hits, 4 walks and 5 earned runs, good for a 135.00 ERA. Ouch.
The talented left-hander has been prone to struggles throughout his career, but he had never had a night as bad as this.
