In Cy Schourek’s worst nightmare, two Tylers will face off in your afternoon series capper at Great American Ballpark. Mahle bumps it for the Reds with Anderson doing so for the Rockies. Everyone will get a participation trophy and then head over to Tyler M’s house after the game to play Sega.
These fellas squared off a long long long time ago, all the way back on May 26 at Coors Field. Neither was great, but Mahle’s team got the better edging out a 6-5 win.
I have decided that I’m really bullish about Mahle now. With almost everything being a complete disaster for this pitching staff during this rebuild, the Reds desperately need someone - anyone - to actually develop into a major-league quality starting pitcher.
