TRENTON, N.J. -- With each start, Jordan Romano is shedding his projection as a future bullpen arm.
Romano, Toronto's No. 27 prospect, impressed Wednesday in his second start of the season for Double-A New Hampshire, allowing three hits in seven scoreless innings as the Fisher Cats shut out Trenton, 4-0, at Arm & Hammer Park.
Romano was sharp from the outset of the game, as he retired the first five batters before allowing a two-out single. He rebounded to retire the next eight batters, and then he put a bow on his performance by retiring eight of his last nine while pitching around a leadoff double in the seventh inning.
