Eric Lauer Struggles in Spring Start Against Yankees

Left-hander Eric Lauer faced a difficult outing against the New York Yankees, allowing four earned runs on four hits over 3.1 innings of work. Lauer, who walked one and struck out three, surrendered a home run during the 8-1 loss. His spring ERA has climbed to 8.64. Despite the rough exhibition performance, Lauer is expected to secure a spot in the Blue Jays' starting rotation as he works to refine his command and consistency before Opening Day.
