Remember how yesterday I gloated about the Phillies’ terrible pitching?
Karma, wily wench that she is, came back to bounce several over the wall against the Pirates, as Connor Overton lasted one—ONE—inning and the bullpen flailed in the Reds’ thorough 11-1 shellacking of the Bucs this afternoon at Great American Ball Park.
Here’s how Overton’s sole inning of work went:
- Jonathan India single
- Max Schrock double
- Nick Castellanos sac fly to score India, 1-0 Reds
- Joey Votto home run, 3-0 Reds
- Eugenio Suarez single
- Delino DeShields K just to give Pirates fans false hope
- Tucker Barnhart single to score Suarez, 4-0 Reds
- Reiver Sanmartin, the pitcher who had, you know, yet to throw a pitch in the game, struck out because hey, he didn’t have to work.
