TORONTO -- Asher Wojciechowski's first start with Cincinnati looked smooth out of the gates, but Toronto's hitters quickly pounced on a trend in his fastball location in the fourth inning of Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.
Wojciechowski's first trip through the order was excellent as he faced the minimum, allowing just a single that was quickly erased on a solo double play by Joey Votto. No Blue Jays batter had faced Wojciechowski before, but when the lineup got a second look, they started barreling up on his four-seam fastball.
"The home runs were pitches that ran back, elevated over the plate and were hit well," said Reds' manager Bryan Price.
