Taking the mound for the first time in the big leagues and you go 8 & 2/3 innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 run for the win... i'd call that a dream start to your career ... add the fact that it's your Dad's birthday and he's flown in from Florida to wwatch the game and you almost have a made for TV movie. Well that's exactly what happened in Toronto this evening for 22 year old Jesse Litsch.
Here are his numbers in a 2-1 victory for the Blue Jays over the Orioles.
| Toronto | IP | H | R | ER | BB | SO | HR | ERA |
| Litsch (W, 1-0) | 8.2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1.04 |
