Anthony DeSclafani had the shortest start of his career on Thursday night. The right-handed pitcher lasted just two innings, and those two innings were about as rough as they come in Major League Baseball as he allowed nine earned runs on nine hits, two walks, and three home runs while striking out just one of the 17 hitters he faced.

In his first two starts of the season, DeSclafani had allowed just five hits, no runs, just one walk, and he struck out eight batters between the games against Detroit and Milwaukee.
