The Blue Jays called up Yariel Rodriguez today and it was announced that the Cuban pitcher would start against the Rockies this afternoon making team history.
Rodriguez has made Blue Jays history with his start against the Rockies by being the first Cuban born pitcher to start a game for the Blue Jays.
The first Cuban-born pitcher to start a game in franchise HISTORY 🇨🇺
Here we go, Yariel 👏
The Cuban RHP has been playing incredibly in Triple-A and hopefully will continue to impress as he makes his first Major League start.
The Blue Jays need all the help they can get after an awful 12-4 loss yesterday with their superstar pitcher, Kevin Gausman, on the mound.
