CINCINNATI -- Before injuries wiped out his entire 2017 season and the first two months of 2018, Reds pitcher Anthony DeSclafani could often be counted on for consistency and deep starts. DeSclafani's current three-start stretch has shown it's something he's more than capable of doing.
During a 2-1 Reds victory over the Giants in 11 innings at Great American Ball Park on Friday -- a game settled on Phillip Ervin's walk-off home run -- DeSclafani set the tone for his club with another good performance in a no-decision. He allowed one earned run on six hits over a season-high 7 2/3 innings with one walk and five strikeouts.
