Overton held the Reds scoreless across three innings during Thursday's no-decision. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three.
It was a strong debut for the 28-year-old, who has yet to allow a run through his first 10.2 innings at the major-league level. As expected, Overton took on a light load for his first start, tossing 42 pitches (31 for strikes) over three frames. The right-hander will look to get further stretched out during his next outing, which projects for a rematch with Cincinnati on the road next week, assuming he remains in the starting rotation.
