Mercado lifts Cleveland over Blue Jays 7-3 to spoil Borucki’s return
TORONTO — Ryan Borucki isn’t in mid-season form just yet. Unfortunately for him, the Cleveland Indians are.
The left-hander made his season debut on Monday after missing the first four months of the season with inflammation in his throwing elbow. He allowed four runs — two earned — over 4 2/3 innings in a 7-3 loss to Cleveland.
“Just was a little rusty, had a lot of adrenaline running, first day out,” said Borucki. “It’s just a building block from now on. Just something to build off of for my next start, a good starting point for me.”
His next start will come before the end of the week.
