We’re not going to get too deep into the details of this one. No one needs to dwell too hard on a loss like this. So let’s just hit the high notes.
Brady Singer was both better and worse than his final line of five innings, eleven hits, and five runs with five strikeouts. Through five innings he had allowed on two runs despite giving up eight hits but hadn’t managed a single clean inning. He was asked to come back out for the sixth because of the weak bullpen and gave up two fluky singles - a popup that fell due to miscommunication, and a groundball that caromed off the lip of the infield dirt that otherwise likely would have been a double play - before giving up a three-run home run to J.
