Pfaadt did not survive the second inning, as the D-backs were blown out by Milwaukee
Arizona Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt had the worst outing of his major league career Saturday night, allowing eight earned runs without surviving the second inning against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers went on to win the game 15-8 in front of 44,886 fans at Chase Field.
It looked like he might settle down in the second when he got two outs to start the second inning. The Brewers then hit four consecutive singles, plating two runs. Having difficulty locating his sweeper all day, Pfaadt walked the next two batters, forcing in another run. Some of the high hit total is bad luck perhaps, but much of it is simply inability to locate. The home run total is a result of mislocated sweepers more often than not.
Floro came over to the Diamondbacks from the Washington Nationals in a trade deadline deal in exchange for Andres Chapparro. At the time Floro boasted a 2.06 ERA and a 2.64 FIP to back it up. He ended up allowing five runs in two innings, the second time in three games he's given up that many runs. Not done yet, the D-backs scored four more runs in the eighth inning thanks to five hits and a Brewers error at third base. Grichuk had an RBI single in the inning, and Geraldo Perdomo hit a two-run double. That brought the score to 13-8, but the D-backs could get no closer.
