Oakland Athletics reliever Hogan Harris began his MLB career with a historically poor performance in Friday’s 17-6 loss to the New York Mets.
Harris, who has a 3.26 career ERA in the minors, entered the game in the top of the fifth inning as Oakland trailed 6-3. He got his first batter, DH Daniel Vogelbach, to ground out in what ended up being the only out he recorded.
The 26-year-old then issued walks to the next three batters he faced before hitting center fielder Brandon Nimmo with a fastball to drive in a run. Harris then walked the next batter—right fielder Starling Marte—scoring another run before shortstop Francisco Lindor doubled to clear the bases.
