Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani improved is record to 3-4 as he picked up the victory over the Nationals on Friday. The young right-hander tossed six innings, allowing two runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out one. He threw 53 of his 85 pitches for strikes, as he lowered his ERA to 3.41.
He gave up RBI-singles in the fifth and sixth innings accounting for all the damage against him, as he was able to quiet a dangerous Nationals offense. DeSclafani will make his next start on Thursday in Philadelphia.
