Bronson Arroyo is as steady as any pitcher in baseball. Arroyo wins 15 games and throws 200 plus innings annually.
The disturbing consistency has been his outings against the Toronto Blue Jays since 2005.
In September 2005 as a member of the Red Sox, Arroyo faced Toronto and allowed seven runs in three innings.
After his trade to the Reds he has faced Toronto twice.
On June 24, 2008, Arroyo didn't last the second inning. Toronto had 11 hits and scored 10 runs before Arroyo left the game with no outs in the second inning.
Exactly one year later, Arroyo scattered eight outs while the Blue Jays amassed seven runs, including one unearned run on eight hits.
The three-game total, 7 2/3 innings, 26 hits, 23 earned runs, seven walks, and nine home runs. That calculates to an ERA of 27.00.
On Sunday, Yunel Escobar greeted Arroyo with a solid single to right.
