Reds get swept in Milwaukee….oh young pitching

Three days in Milwaukee, three days of Reds pitching getting destroyed by Brewers hitters. Today, that distinct honor went to Rookie Davis getting beat around in route to a 9-4 loss. The Reds were outscored in the three games in Milwaukee 29-12.

This series in Milwaukee was a quick reminder that there are growing pains with young pitchers. It was Amir Garrett on Monday (3.1 IP, 8 H, 9 ER), it Robert Stephenson in relief on Tuesday (0.2 IP, 5 H, 4 ER), and it was Rookie Davis today (2.1 IP, 11 H, 7 ER).
