[My first recap since May 3 when the Reds blew that 8-0 lead against the Giants on Nick Senzel’s debut. Seriously, Doug, it wasn’t my fault.]
Run Prevention
Tanner Roark threw six innings allowing four runs by his former team. All four runs scored on two homers. Roark struck out 6 and walked only one. His ERA is 3.47 and xFIP is 4.48. In most cases, a pitcher’s ERA heads toward his xFIP faster than the reverse.
Michael Lorenzen, who hit 99 mph on the radar gun a couple times, and Amir Garrett covered the seventh and eighth innings.
