DeSclafani gave up four runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks in only 2.2 innings Wednesday against Atlanta, but avoided a decision in an eventual 13-inning loss.
Joey Votto actually did DeSclafani a favor by committing an error that made three of the runs unearned, as the 26-year-old deserved a far worse fate than merely one earned run. With 14 hits to go with a 4:6 K:BB through his first 8.2 innings of the season, DeSclafani isn't creating a lot of optimism; in most formats, you should be able to do better on the wire.
