Nate Jones is the Cincinnati Reds' eighth-inning guy – for now at least

Nate Jones got the ball in the eighth inning with the Cincinnati Reds leading by a run in Monday’s 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians.

Does that make him the eight-inning setup man?

“I don’t really want to compare guys like that because we believe in all of them,” Reds Manager David Bell said. “Nate’s impressed us from the beginning of spring training. We talked a lot about, you know, Nate is healthy. He’s pitched in big situations. He’s pitched in that role. He’s really funky. He gives a different look. He has the stuff.
