Tejay Antone: “Unbelievable” in his Reds debut

Tejay Antone took the mound for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night against the Chicago Cubs. For Antone it’s a lifetime of work leading to a dream, but it didn’t come in the most ideal situation. When the right-handed pitcher stepped onto the mound his team was trailing 6-0 and it was just the 2nd inning.

The game for Tejay Antone started with a 96 MPH fastball for a called strike. The next pitch hit Willson Contreras in the elbow. He came back and got Steven Souza to fly out to Phillip Ervin in center field to record his first out and end the inning.
