One of the six games started by Cincinnati Reds pitchers this year was a clunker. Wade Miley, the latest addition to the group this past winter, stumbled in his Reds debut, allowing 6 runs (5 earned) while retiring just 5 batters, pulled by manager David Bell before he could get out of the 2nd inning.
Of course, we learned yesterday what was likely influencing that poor outing, a groin issue that will sideline Miley for a bit. But that’s not even the true point of this article, really.
Miley’s bad outing included, Reds starting pitchers enter play on Friday with the single best collective FIP of all 30 MLB clubs.
