Tejay Antone’s MLB debut didn’t occur under ideal circumstances. In just the fourth game of the 2020 season, and the Cincinnati Reds’ first against a division opponent, left-handed starter Wade Miley had sunk the team into a deep hole early, allowing six runs to score before he could even record the third out of the second inning. That’s when Antone got the call to enter the game, and as a career starter in the minor leagues, his job seemed clear: Eat as many innings as you can to keep the strain off the more regular relievers, and we’ll worry about the results later.
