Blue Jays' Francisco Liriano: Strikes out three in spring debut
Liriano pitched two scoreless innings while allowing two hits and fanning three Yankees in Friday's exhibition game.
Analysis:
Liriano opened his spring with a strong performance as he effortlessly cruised through two frames. The veteran left-hander has made mechanical adjustments since joining the Jays last season and the club has high expectations for the 33-year-old as he embarks on his 12th MLB season. Liriano's overall numbers in 2016 are unappealing, but he improved once moving north of the border and should be available for a good value in upcoming drafts.
