Tyler Mahle has been in a slump of late. The Cincinnati Reds rookie pitcher hasn’t won a game since July 6th. A ret hot June for the right-hander made way to an icy cold July, and things won’t get any easier for Mahle when he goes up against a Washington Nationals’ team whose bats have come alive since the All-Star break.
Tyler Mahle didn’t have his stuff during the month of July. In 4 starts, Mahle was 1-2 versus opponents with an 8.62 ERA. In Mahle’s defense, three of the four games he started was against division leaders, and the other matchup was against the red-hot Pittsburgh Pirates who won 11 straight games during the stretch in which they faced Mahle.
