Hopefully your afternoon is going better than Tommy Milone's.
The New York Mets left-hander started his matchup against the Los Angeles Angels by giving up a grand slam to C.J. Cron before even retiring a batter. Here's a look at the events that led to the 5-0 first-inning deficit:
| Batter | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Cameron Maybin | Single |
| Andrelton Simmons | Double |
| Mike Trout | Intentional Walk |
| Jefry Marte | Walk - RBI |
| C.J. Cron | Grand Slam |
| Kole Calhoun | Strikeout |
| Danny Espinosa | Single |
| Martin Maldonado | Single - Espinosa out at home |
| Jesse Chavez | Strikeout |
As if that wasn't enough, the Angels would crush two more homers off Milone in the very next frame, ending his day after just 1 1/3 innings. The first of the back-to-back jacks came from none other than Mike Trout.

Jefry Marte then followed suit, ending Milone's afternoon with the Angels' third bomb of the game - a moonshot that peaked at 120 feet. Milone's ERA for the day (47.25!) raised his season ERA by 1.72.
