If we had asked you which Reds’ rookie starter would have a 1.53 ERA with only 5 walks and 3 total runs allowed over his first 3 starts, we wouldn’t blame you if your answer was either Nick Lodolo or Hunter Greene. While both of those pitchers have had some impressive outings in their own rookie campaigns, Graham Ashcraft has been fantastic since getting the call from Louisville. He had arguably his best start in his young career tonight, as he held the Washington Nationals to only 1 run in 7 innings of work while allowing 4 hits, a walk, and striking out 5.
