KANSAS CITY -- Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey's first rehab assignment start for Triple-A Louisville did not go well on Monday. Bailey lasted three innings and gave up five earned runs on six hits over three innings with one walk and one strikeout. He threw 68 pitches.
All five runs and five of the hits came during the top of the third inning.
"I talked to [Louisville manager] Dick Schofield. He basically said his first two innings looked good and then he got hit hard," Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said on Tuesday.
