Like the entirety of the Reds 2017 season, this past week has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. We finally saw Homer Bailey pitch on a major league mound for the first time in what seems like forever – only to see him chased from the game in the second inning. We saw Brandon Finnegan come back from injury – only to see him leave the game with an injury. We saw a young star come up and pitch his best – while yet another one of his counterparts was sent back to Louisville for seasoning.
The Reds are solidly in last place in the NL Central, thanks to a few weeks of losing.
