Minnesota starting pitcher Vance Worley took the mound for a Grapefruit League start against Baltimore on Sunday. Things didn't go his way.
Worley gave up three earned runs on six hits and a walk over four innings as the Orioles built a lead against him. Worley surrendered a solo homer to J.J. Hardy in the fourth inning as he was knocked around a bit. He struck out two batters in the outing and his Grapefruit ERA is now at 6.00.
Worley, projected to possibly be the opening day starter for the Twins, has now surrendered eight earned runs this spring over 12 innings with six Ks. He was 6-9 over 23 starts with a 4.20 ERA for the Phillies last year.
