"Didier Fuentes lasting one inning on July 8. Fuentes 2/2 K/BB ratio wasn't the worst ever, but he allowed three homers in the process and the game was basically over soon after it began, as it ended with a 10-1 loss. Bryce Elder on June 27, getting absolutely crushed by the Phillies. A 2/4 K/BB ratio in two innings, three homers allowed, and a 13-0 loss."
"Elder on June 27, as noted above. This was just the worst by far, with a hilarious .661 xwOBA-against. Carlos Carrasco on August 13 (.607). Amazingly, the Braves won this game as they pounded the Mets, 11-6, probably because they yanked Carrasco after two innings (2/3 K/BB ratio, a homer allowed); the "good" relievers allowed basically nothing for the rest of the game as the Braves scored 11 unanswered runs."
Several Atlanta Braves starts featured unusually poor results, often involving multiple homers and weak strikeout-to-walk ratios. Didier Fuentes lasted one inning on July 8, allowing three homers in a 10-1 loss despite a 2/2 K/BB. Bryce Elder on June 27 allowed three homers across two innings with a 2/4 K/BB in a 13-0 loss and produced a .661 xwOBA-against. Cal Quantrill surrendered four homers in 3 1/3 innings on August 28 and recorded a 0/0 K/BB in a 19-4 loss. AJ Smith-Shawver had a May 22 outing with a 1/3 K/BB in three innings that worsened when he faced the lineup a third time and issued two consequential walks, and an early departure later preceded Tommy John surgery. Carlos Carrasco allowed a homer in two innings on August 13 but the bullpen and offense erased the deficit as the team won 11-6.
