Getting 7 IP from a starting pitcher these days league-wide is just not something that’s at all a given. For the Cincinnati Reds, that’s absolutely been the case, as they’ve not had an outing like that prior to tonight since what feels like the Carter Administration.
On Monday against Cleveland, Anthony DeSclafani was as on-point as we’d all hoped he’d be since coming off the DL, firing 7 innings of 1 ER ball against an offense that, at times, can be as potent as there is in baseball. Disco spun those 7 IP with 5 H, ER, 2 BB, and 3 K, needing just 98 pitches to make that happen.
