RecapAndrew Abbott allowed nine hits and eight runs with zero walks and zero strikeouts over just two innings in an ugly loss to the Brewers on Friday.
Right away it was obvious that Abbott did not have it here. Jackson Chourio laced a double off a hanging curveball on the third pitch of the game and the Brewers never stopped making consistent hard contact after that. Abbott held them to two in the first, but three singles, a double, and two home runs turned into six more runs in the second as the rout was on. His fastball was especially tattooed allowing two doubles, one of the home runs, five hard-hit balls, and didn’t force a single whiff. He’s scheduled to face the Dodgers next time out in a matchup that should be avoided at all costs.
