Detroit knocked around Seattle starter Jarrod Washburn for 9 runs and 12 hits in just 2 1/3 innings pitched tonight at Comerica Park.
Since 1956, only three other starters had given up that many hits in such a short period of time. And two of those games were at Coors Field. The third was actually at Dodger Stadium in 1963.
Washburn has a game score of -1 (or at least I think it is, I tend to add them up wrong). Justin Germano of the Padres is the only other starter to have a negative game score this year.
Mark Redman, who gave up a 10 run inning in the first to the Dodgers back on April 26, actually hung around long enough to push his game score to 14.
