Brandon McCarthy gives up six runs to Twins
Brandon McCarthy - S - Oakland Athletics
Aug. 21, 2012 - 1:50 AM ET

Brandon McCarthy was pounded for six runs in 3 1/3 innings by the Twins on Monday.

Well, perhaps pounded was the wrong word, considering that nine of the 10 hits he allowed were singles. Still, he had just one clean frame in the game, and he actually walked in a run in the first. It qualifies as his worst start in over a year.
