There has been no definitive word on when Brandon Finnegan will hit his innings limit for 2016, but it is certainly looming. Finnegan is doing his best to end his 2016 season on a high note, whenever that end might be.
Tonight, eight of Finnegan’s first ten outs recorded were strikeouts. Finnegan ended the night with a new career high of twelve, the second highest total by a Reds pitcher this season. Finnegan finished the night allowing just three hits and two runs over six innings. That coming off his last start when he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning.
