Maybe his last start as a Red. Probably gets at least one more after the break though.

It was very impressive. Martinez tried to blow him away with a 99 mph fastball that he fouled off. Comes back with a change and Winker stays back and smokes it to left field. Beautiful hitting.

I dunno, it was odd. A quick hook.

Even with a rested pen, six innings from the starter is better than five.

Not a tragedy, but raises a question what Rigg was thinking, or whether there was a pre-ordained pitch limit. Will be interesting to hear after the game.
