Mark Buehrle to retire after his two innings?

ST. PETERSBURG - If Mark Buehrle’s left arm is good to go Sunday morning, he will start Game 162 for the Blue Jays.

And after he pitches two innings to reach 200 innings for a 15th consecutive year?

Chicago’s Bruce Levine reported late Saturday night Buehrle “would retire after taking the mound briefly Sunday.”

It appears as if Buehrle will not be on the 25-man roster that the Jays are required to submit to the commissioner’s office before the start of Game 1 of the best-of-five American League Division Series, which begins Thursday night at the Rogers Centre.
