ANAHEIM, Calif. -- It's been a long and winding road for Casey Lawrence, but one that will take him to the mound at Angel Stadium on Saturday night for his first career major league start.
Lawrence will make the start for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Los Angeles Angels at the age of 29 after spending eight seasons in the minors, as well as three seasons of winter ball in Venezuela playing for the Bravos de Margarita.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, however, is hoping that Lawrence will be free of any significant jitters, considering he has already made two appearances for the Blue Jays this season out of the bullpen.
