If game one today didn’t perfectly encompass 2020 for the Cincinnati Reds then I don’t know what does. Anthony DeSclafani had an outstanding start, then the late innings saw an implosion. But things turned out well in the end as a run in the top of the 7th and final inning set things up for Raisel Iglesias for shut the Tigers down to seal the victory.
The Offense
Nick Castellanos is usually referred to as a doubles machine, but in the first game of today’s scheduled doubleheader it was Castellanos participating in a different kind of double – homering twice and driving in three runs.
