Rays starter Alex Colome, who was called up to take over the rotation spot of David Price for the time being, made his second career start Saturday in New York.
Colome struggled with command as he walked five batters. That caused him to get his pitch count up to 85 and he had to leave after just 4 1/3 innings. Colome gave up just three unearned runs, and settled for a no-decision after the Rays took a lead in the sixth inning.
Colome gave up five hits and struck out three on the performance. He has now allowed just four unearned runs -- none earned -- on 10 hits and seven walks over his first 10 innings in the majors with 10 Ks. Expected to remain in the rotation until Price returns, Colome is likely to make his next start next Friday against Detroit.
