In a 12-inning epic battle between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Athletics on Monday that ended in Milwaukee winning, 15-14 in 12 innings, left-hander Kyle Harrison had a rough, uncharacteristic outing.

Harrison, who stepped on the mound at Las Vegas Ballpark with a 1.57 ERA and a 7-1 record after a 12-strikeout performance against the San Francisco Giants on June 2, was immediately attacked by the Athletics’ batting order.

Harrison’s rough evening started by giving up a lead-off home run to Shea Langeliers in the bottom of the first inning.

In the bottom of the second, Harrison gave up back-to-back doubles that led to the Athletics taking a 2-1 lead. After the Brewers regained the lead in the top of the third thanks to home runs by Brice Turang and Andrew Vaughn, Harrison’s brutal outing reached a crescendo.

In the bottom of the third, Harrison allowed three singles and a walk that allowed the Athletics to tie the game at 4-4 before giving up a three-run home run to Tyler Soderstrom. After being hit with a barrage, Harrison finally got his first out of the inning via strikeout, but then gave up a home run to Zack Gelof, which ended his evening.

Harrison went back to the dugout after just 2.1 innings in which he allowed eight hits, eight earned runs (three home runs), and two walks while striking out four batters. After the game, he talked with the media about his difficult night.

"It's tough to say, right? I mean, you watch that game," Harrison said. "Yeah, I think it's just kind of flush it, move on to the next one. Obviously, not the best stuff, not the best locations with the stuff. So yeah, just chalk it up on a crappy day in Vegas, that's it."

Las Vegas Ballpark, which is the temporary home for the Athletics for a special six-game preview of their future while their new stadium on the Las Vegas Strip is being built, is a place Harrison played several times before during his time in the minors. However, his familiarity with the park did not aid him on Monday.

"I have before, three or four times," he said. "So, I thought I knew the environment coming into it, but no, just one of those things, well, once something gets rolling bad, right? Like it kind of all comes to fruition, right? So it's just gotta be better in those situations, ultimately not giving in, and tough to do in a spot like this, though."
