Most fans will point to the offensive resurgence as to the reason why the Cincinnati Reds won last night’s game over the San Diego Padres. However, Raisel Igelsias and the Reds bullpen shut down the Padres bats over the final 3.2 innings of the 4-1 victory.
Raisel Iglesias has looked off during the first several weeks of the season. Yes, after last night’s win, the right-hander now has 3 saves in 4 opportunities, but to say Iglesias has been shaky would be an understatement. In the 6 games before last night, Iglesias allowed 8 hits, including 2 home runs in 6.
