Cincinnati Reds fans got their first taste of Zack Littell earlier this week. The former Tampa Bay Rays starter made his Reds' debut against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field and put up some impressive numbers.
Littell's first game with the Reds saw him cover seven innings, rack up eight punch outs, walk only two batters and allow just three hits. Cincinnati is hoping to see more of the same from Littell during his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Curiously, Littlell has drawn numerous comparisons of late to another Reds pitcher.
