T.J. Zeuch took the mound to start today’s game for the Cincinnati Reds against the New York Mets, and he promptly hit the first batter he faced. His team debut got worse in a hurry, too, as a walk and RBI-single soon followed before the opening frame was done.
By the time former Red Tyler Naquin socked a homer off him to open the Bottom of the 3rd, the Reds found themselves in a 6-0 hole, the kind of hole you can only assume you’ll face at least once a week after you lose 3/5th of your starting rotation in the matter of a week.
