Opening Day-esque lineup backs Andrew Abbott as Reds host A’s

Related Topics: Cincinnati Reds

Remember how Andrew Abbott has those stretches where he’s absolutely, positively untouchable? He burst onto the scene with the Cincinnati Reds last year, and across his first 6 starts (37.1 IP) he allowed just 5 ER, culminating with a 7.2 IP outing against the potent San Diego Padres in which he allowed just a lone ER while fanning 12.

It’s a habit of his, really. He set the team record for most scoreless innings to start his big league career, and that became newsworthy enough that googling ‘Andrew Abbott scoreless innings streak’ to try to recall how long the multiple ones he had in the minors prior to that gets buried in the search results.
