After being tagged for 27 runs in a three game sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend, the Cincinnati Reds needed some good starting pitching in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals in the biggest of ways. Luis Castillo and Homer Bailey did their jobs in the first pair of games of the series, and during Wednesday’s matinee, Sal Romano sure did, too.
The big righty allowed just 2 ER in his 6 IP, twice pitching out of jams that the defense behind him helped create.
