2016 Cincinnati Reds

o

(APRIL 11th)

Brandon Finnegan no-hit the Cubs through 6.67 innings before ceding a single to David Ross.

He then walked pinch-hitter Matt Szczur before giving way to reliever Caleb Cotham.

Cotham then walked Dexter Fowler. Yet another relief pitcher came in (Tony Cingrani), and he gave up a 2-run single to Jason Heyward.

Kris Bryant was retired on a groundout, and the Reds ended the inning with a 3-2 lead.

Finnegan is in line for either a win or a no-decision.

Because of the way that it is spelled, I was not permitted to insert his actual name.

I predict that Jay Bruce will go to the Mets this year to replace whatever garbage is in LF for them. I also predict Votto is gone, maybe to New York if Mr. Wilpon gets a good enough deal, cause the Mets are almost broke.

Michael Conforto is a LHB playing LF for the Mets. His .788 OPS this season is almost identical to Bruce's career line.

Nice for the suffering Reds franchise - who I look on when I return to OH in June - sad I miss the O's series.
