Imai's return didn't quite go so well. After a scoreless first inning, he gave up a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena in the second. He then stranded two runners in the third before loading the bases in the fourth with no outs on two hit batters and a walk. Dominic Canzone made him pay with a grand slam. Imai would finish out the inning and end his day at 80 pitches. The 28-year-old right-hander now holds a 9.24 ERA, 2.05 WHIP, and a 16/14 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings. He'll take on the Twins in Minnesota on Monday.
