Reds to face another rookie in Phillies' Suarez

The Cincinnati Reds certainly have seen this before. In fact, they keep seeing it and seeing it.

For the third time in four games Thursday, Cincinnati will go up against a pitcher making his first major league start. And for the fourth game in a row, the Reds will face a rookie starting pitcher.

Now, Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez -- only a month after being promoted from Double-A to Triple-A -- can only to hope to replicate what St. Louis Cardinals debut starters Daniel Poncedeleon and Austin Gomber did against the Reds this week.
