Pitcher allows nine earned runs in 3 1/3 innings during 15-1 loss

A left-handed pitcher surrendered nine earned runs over 3 1/3 innings Monday in a 15-1 loss. The pitcher allowed three home runs, all on changeups, and said through an interpreter that nothing stood out as the cause. "Nothing really," the pitcher stated.

"As I learn from the good things that we have on the field, and the things when we perform well, the same thing when I don't perform. "

The opposing team then scored five more runs in the inning. "You've got to make (that play)," the shortstop said. "Who knows how that game ends up. (If) he gets out of it clean, and then gets on a roll, who knows how it turns out.
