Detroit — There's a level of intrigue these days when Reese Olson pitches.
The rookie right-hander carried a no-hitter past the fifth inning for a second straight start, helping the Tigers to an 8-2 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday at Comerica Park.
Olson didn't allow a hit until Reds designated hitter Jake Fraley led off the sixth inning with a single to center. Olson would induce Nick Martini into a double play, but Spencer Steer hit his 21st home run with two outs, cutting the Tigers' lead to 3-1 before Olson finished the inning.
Will Vest relieved Olson to begin the seventh inning.
