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.
