Ubaldo Jimenez makes earliest exit in more than three years as his struggles continue

The spiraling season of Ubaldo Jimenez hit a new low Saturday as the struggling right-hander suffered through his shortest start in more than three years, adding pressure on Orioles manager Buck Showalter to drop Jimenez from the starting rotation.

Jimenez lasted just 12/3 innings in the Orioles' 11-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field, allowing eight of the 14 batters he faced to reach base. The outing was his shortest start since April 16, 2013, when he lasted 12/3 innings for the Indians against the Boston Red Sox.
