When you strike out 15 times, score no runs, and make three errors, you’re going to have a bad time.
It’s crazy how quickly this game went from a pitcher’s duel to an embarrassment. Jharel Cotton was solid for the first few innings — faced the minimum through the first two innings, but got into some trouble in the third when seemingly all communication between him and catcher Josh Phegley ceased. Daniel Robertson doubled, and then it appeared that Cotton went with a curveball to Roberto Perez when Phegley was expecting a fastball, and the ball got loose.
