Nick Lodolo returned from the injured list and looked positively electric for the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday against the New York Mets, putting up zeroes in his 4.2 IP on a night when Mets ace Max Scherzer returned to the mound, too.
Both pitchers had been sidelined with injuries and rehab prior to Tuesday’s 1-0 Cincinnati victory, but the stage was set for the future Hall of Famer and promising rookie to tussle in Great American Ball Park on Tuesday. Fortunately for the Reds - as it was inevitable for the Mets - their young phenom held up his end of the bargain, too.
