Reds pitcher Tyler Mahle allowed just one hit through six innings.
Whether or not the fans agree, David Bell’s decision to pull Tyler Mahle after the sixth inning in last night’s game against the Cleveland Indians was the correct call. Mahle had thrown 98 pitches and the Cincinnati Reds skipper removed the right-hander from the game. The Reds, who led 2-0 at the time of Mahle’s departure, fell 4-2 after the bullpen surrendered yet another lead.
