11 Years Ago Today Mark Buehrle gave up seven runs in an inning against the Rays, but the Jays made a great comeback to win 8-7. Buehrle had a rough start to his first season with the Blue Jays. Coming into this game, he had a 6.43 ERA in 6 starts. We thought maybe Mark wasn’t up to pitching in the AL East. He had been good in the NL East, but the smaller parks and the better hitters of the AL East seemed too much for him.
From Minor Leaguer’s recap: How often does a manager leave a starting pitcher to give up 7 runs in an inning? How often does a pitcher give up seven runs in an inning and throw three more innings? But a) our bullpen had done a ton of work leading up to that game, and b) down by 7. The game is over, so why not have him eat innings? As ML mentions in the recap, the Jays had a 1.7% chance of winning after the seven runs.
