Rookie Rogers goes 7 innings to help Miami beat Orioles 3-0

April 21, 2021 by Houston Chronicle Leave a Comment

MIAMI (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles were eager to swing, and Trevor Rogers was happy to let them.

Early contact helped Rogers pitch a career-high seven innings without allowing a runner past second base, and the Miami Marlins earned a split of the two-game series by winning 3-0 Wednesday.

Rogers needed only seven pitches in the first inning and eight in the sixth. He recorded five first-pitch outs.

“Trying to get strike one early played right into them being aggressive,” the left-hander said. “I attacked them with quality pitches and got some early contact. All of my pitches were working, and overall it was a good day.”

Rogers (2-1) allowed four hits and one walk while striking out eight, and lowered his ERA to 1.64 as he gained his third career win in his 11th start. The other two victories came against two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom.

“He’s a left-hander that throws from a tough angle,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “The ball jumps out of his hand. He was attacking the strike zone on us, and you saw a lot of early outs. He had really good stuff today, and we knew that coming in.”

Rogers threw 82 pitches to become the first Miami starter to go seven innings. He has both of the rotation’s victories after posting a 6.11 ERA in seven starts in 2020.

“This is a guy who really benefited from coming up last year and getting a few starts,” manager Don Mattingly said. “He really learned his lessons, and went to work and made some big strides. He has been very mature about the way he goes about it. And this guy’s stuff is really good.”

Yimi García completed the four-hitter by pitching a perfect ninth for his fourth save in as many chances. The last nine Orioles went down in order.
