The Reds are ushering in the Tyler Stephenson-era this evening.
Reds Country has been waiting, not so patiently, for Tyler Stephenson to make his first start behind the plate. The wait is over, as the Cincinnati Reds inserted Stephenson into the starting lineup tonight. The Reds rookie will bat seventh and hang the signs for starting pitcher Sonny Gray.
Stephenson made his big league debut back on July 27th against the Chicago Cubs.
