Finnegan (3-4) allowed just one run on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts over six innings in a win over Atlanta.
Finnegan has quality starts in all three of his June outings as he has lowered his ERA from 4.14 to 3.61 since the month began. The big key for Finnegan has been keeping the ball in the yard -- he allowed eight home runs in his first seven starts but has surrendered just two since. His control is too shaky for him to be a top-line pitcher as of yet -- he has walked three batters or more nine times in 14 starts -- but he has found a groove of late and has become one of the few bright spots in Cincinnati this season.
