Ricky Romero hit rock bottom in Wednesday's 16-0 loss to the A's, allowing eight runs on four hits and six walks while recording only four outs. For good measure, he mixed in a wild pitch. Toronto's would-be ace in the absence of Brandon Morrow has now allowed at least four runs in 10 of his past 12 starts, and been tagged for more than six tallies four times in the process. Even with the Jays miraculously short on arms, it's fair to wonder if Romero will be skipped his next turn through the rotation. If not, he'll bring a 5.75 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 85/68 K/BB ratio into his Monday start in Seattle.

Ricky Romero yielded four runs over seven innings in Friday's 12-5 win over the Marlins. Of his 110 pitches, 67 were for strikes.

His next scheduled start is Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Ricky Romero yielded four runs over six innings Saturday as part of a no-decision against the Phillies. Romero allowed seven hits while striking out three and walking one. He also hit Brian Schneider twice. The big blow was a three-run homer by John Mayberry, Jr. in the top of the third inning. Romero now owns a 4.28 ERA through his first 14 starts this season. Given the rash of injuries in the starting rotation, he's going to need to do better for the Blue Jays to have any shot at making a postseason run.

Romero's ERA now rests at 4.15 through 82 1/3 innings. He'll look to get on the right track against the Phillies at home next weekend.

He improves to 7-1 on the season, lowering his ERA to 4.02 in the process. Most of the damage done against him came courtesy of a pair of home runs from the left-handed hitting A.J. Pierzynski and Adam Dunn. He'll go in search of his eighth victory when he takes on the Braves in Atlanta on Sunday.

Ricky Romero breezed by the foundering Royals Sunday, allowing just two runs on five hits in eight innings of Toronto's 5-3 victory. Toronto's No. 1 starter fanned five and walked two in improving to 3-0. The owner of a 3.29 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 18/10 K/BB ratio through his first 27 1/3 frames, Romero has an appealing matchup lined up for Friday, where he'll get the Mariners at home.
