Blue Jays pitcher Esmil Rogers made a surprise spot start Wednesday night in Atlanta and was surprisingly dominant.
Unfortunately, as a reliever, he only threw 62 pitches and left after 3 1/3 innings without being able to factor into the decision despite a 3-0 lead at the time of his departure.
Rogers allowed just three hits and two walks over 3 1/3 shutout innings. He struck out four batters and his ERA is at 4.03 on the season.
Wednesday's performance was Rogers' longest outing of the season, though he's gone at least three frames in three straight. Still, he is not likely to receive another start for Toronto.
