I'll remember this the next time Detroit's bullpen explodes. This is positively Jason Grilli-esque, but worse. Kansas City's Vin Mazzano allowed 14 runs on 11 hits in 2.1 innings pitched last night during a 19-1 rout by Cleveland.
He dubiously becomes the first relief pitcher since 1942 to give up 14 runs in an appearance. Only 3 pitchers since 1947 have done it at all, and all were starters. You know...you generally get taken out when that happens. Mazzano gave up 10 runs in his 2nd inning of work (all with 2 out) but was inexplicably sent back out for a third inning of work, before he got the mercy-hook.
Mazzano also becomes the first pitcher in Major League history to ever give up that many runs in fewer than 3 innings pitched.
Not surprisingly Mazzano was sent to Triple A after the game.
