Romano struck out the first two batters he faced and helped the Blue Jays come away with an 8-6 victory over the Orioles in his major-league debut. The native of Markham became the 28th Canadian-born player to appear in a game for the Blue Jays as he delivered a scoreless seventh inning. It wasn’t that long ago this moment in a Blue Jays uniform seemed impossible. Romano hoped to crack the Rangers bullpen out of spring training, but instead he was offered back to the Blue Jays and opened the year as a starter in Buffalo. A bigger concern for the Blue Jays is that the injury will have a negative impact on his trade value heading into next month’s deadline.
