Reds pitcher Anthony DeSclafani had trouble with his control during Friday's 4-3 loss to the Braves.
DeSclafani walked five batters over five innings of work. He also allowed four runs on four hits and struck out five batters. His ERA raised from 1.04 to 2.03. DeSclafani had yet to walk more than two batters in his previous four starts. He has now failed to pitch past the fifth inning in two-consecutive starts.
DeSclafani's biggest mistake was a two-run home run he surrendered to Kelly Johnson in the fifth inning.
His next expected start is scheduled for Thursday at Pittsburgh.
