He of the 50 2/3 inning scoreless streak that ended in early June. 3rd or 4th longest streak of all time. Longest by a Phillie. Wasn’t it also the longest by a lefty?
Anyway, what’s he up to these days?
Well, before yesterday he allowed five and four earned runs in his previous two road starts. And yesterday managed the worst start of his career.
He had no explanation after giving up a career-worst nine earned runs in just 3 1/3 innings in a 15-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, as well as giving up 3 home runs in those 3.1 innings.
This is a fickle game. Guy is making history and the next 3 weeks he is dog crap. No wonder guys go nuts and become drug addicts and get divorced and kill themselves playing this game.
