David Purcey was crushed for seven runs over 3 2/3 innings in a 13-7 loss to the Orioles on Friday night.
Purcey was hammered for eight hits, including a three-run bomb by Matt Wieters in the fourth. The 27-year-old's season comes to an end at 1-2 with a 6.19 ERA over 10 starts. Combined with his spotty output in the minors, 2009 has to be considered a step back for the young southpaw, but he'll have a chance to compete for a spot in the Jays rotation in 2010.
