Don’t fret too much over Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani’s poor showing.

Anthony DeSclafani went just two innings on Thursday night, and some Cincinnati Reds fans wish he’d only gone one. DeSclafani allowed nine runs on nine hits while walking two and only struck out one batter. Don’t read too much into this debacle from DeSclafani, as this terrible outing will be a distant memory by next week.

You don’t need to rub Anthony DeSclafani’s nose into it, as he would probably be the first person to tell you how terrible his performance was on Thursday night.
