Anthony DeSclafani followed up his Reds debut with an impressive start against the Cubs last night, throwing 7 shut-out innings while allowing just two hits and two walks. And the Reds bullpen ...

The woes of the weekend carried over into the start of the Reds’ first road game of the season, as the pitching was unable to make two three-run leads hold up against the Cubs (specifically, Jo...
