Cincinnati Reds: The rise of starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani

As if last nights’ game was any indication, Cincinnati Reds‘ starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani has been on a whole new level this season. Following an extra-inning walk-off win at the hands of Phillip Ervin in the eleventh inning, DeSclafani pitched a gem. It was his longest outing of the season at 7 2/3 innings. Over those innings, he ended the night giving up only one run on six hits, while striking out five with just one walk.

Unlike any other starter on the staff, “Disco” as he is called, is the only one to pitch seven or more innings, all happening in his last three starts.
