Bad News Comes in Threes

by Rob Neyer

Before today, Hiroki Kuroda had started 109 games in Major League Baseball. Kuroda had pitched well in those 109 games, generally; specifically, he had never given up three home runs in one game.

↵Today, Kuroda gave up three home runs. In the first inning.

↵

Jayson Werth. Michael Morse. Ian Desmond.

↵Funny game, the baseball.

↵Update: Morse, who’s having a phenomenal season, hit a second home run off Kuroda in the sixth.
