Finnegan (1-4) lasted 6.1 innings Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers.
Just 58 of his 103 pitches found the strike zone, and Finnegan has now given up at least three runs in seven of his last eight starts. The Reds have nothing to lose by letting him work through his growing pains in the majors, however, so Finnegan is in no danger of losing his spot in the rotation. He'll have a tough matchup in his next start Friday, at home against the Nationals.
