Romano (0-2) allowed a run on two hits, a hit batter and a walk with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Thursday versus Toronto.
The 27-year-old retired the first two batters he faced but then allowed four straight to reach, including a go-ahead RBI single from Bo Bichette. That was enough to stick Romano with the loss in his first appearance during his second stint this year with the Yankees. He owns a 5.84 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings with three different teams in 2021, and he figures to serve a low-leverage role with New York.
