Cody Reed is showing the Cincinnati Reds that he can be a starting pitcher in next season’s rotation. The lefty had a phenomenal showing on Saturday and struck out a career-high 10 batters.
For the second game in a row, a Reds starter pitched lights out against the Chicago Cubs. Unfortunately, for Cody Reed, Saturday’s matchup against the Cubbies was the second game in a row in which the bullpen gave up what would be the winning run.
While a loss is never a good thing, Reed performed admirably for the Reds. In front of a raucous crowd at Wrigley Field, Reed had to dig deep on several occasions to get out of a jam.
