It was an outing to forget, and Braxton Garrett really wanted to forget it.
May 3. Home against the Atlanta Braves. His fifth start of the season after the Miami Marlins won each of the first four games he started on the mound.
Garrett had a clean first inning, retiring the top of the Braves’ vaunted lineup in order.
And then, the disastrous second frame. Seven consecutive batters reached base to begin the inning. Two hit home runs, including a Marcell Ozuna hitting a grand slam. Ultimately, Garrett gave up seven runs in that frame and 11 overall in just 4 1/3 innings in the worst outing of his MLB career.
