Shark didn't pitch that bad, he was just a bit wild.

A lucky hit by Braun, an error by DeRo. That stuff happens.

It happens

but he set himself up for trouble with his wildness. Forced him into pitching to the count, not the other way around.

I still trust the guy, but that was bad.

When you can’t throw any secondary pitches for strikes, major league hitters are gonna pounce.

All runs were unearned. Had a lot of bad luck. Had the DP ball to get out of the inning. Play wasn't made.
