The Guardians and Reds played an exhibition game today. Here are some observations:
-Triston McKenzie threw two solid innings. Some hard contact (including a BLASTED bomb off the bat of Elly De La Cruz, but Sticks probably had him struck out on the pitch prior). Fastball was sitting 93 and he was locating the curveball but the slider wasn't there quite yet. Location was good (no walks!) and velocity was good and that's about all that matters for the first outing.
-Logan Allen also looked solid for two innings, also giving up a blast to De La Cruz.
