Last week we looked at two Orioles starting pitchers, Tommy Milone and Wade LeBlanc, who were on divergent paths as far as results on the mound. Since that time, LeBlanc unfortunately suffered a season ending injury, changing the complexion of the Birds’ rotation this season.
As you probably already know, the injury occurred this past Sunday against the Red Sox and knocked LeBlanc out of the game before be could finish the first inning. He only last 14 pitches — allowing a home run and a walk while also recording two outs — before motioning to the dugout and leaving the mound with a member of the medical staff.
