Minnesota Twins reliever Go Woo-suk has been sent down to the minors after enduring the worst outing of his young major league career this week.
Go was roughed up for three runs on four hits, including a home run, in one inning of work against the Cleveland Guardians, as the Twins suffered a 13-4 loss at Progressive Field in Cleveland on Monday (local time).
Go had thrown one shutout inning against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, when he escaped a bases-loaded jam. Then he took the mound to begin the bottom of the seventh inning Monday with the Twins down 10-3, pitching on back-to-back days for the first time since making his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with the Twins on July 9.
Things went awry from the get-go, as Go surrendered a solo home run to Patrick Bailey, who drilled a 0-1 fastball and sent it 408 feet to center field.
