Melville (0-1) allowed seven runs, six of which were earned, on six hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings, taking the loss Friday at the Cardinals.
Melville gave up a pair of three-run bombs to Matt Holliday and Aledmys Diaz which led to his early exit. After two starts, he now has allowed 18 baserunners over seven innings of work. Once the Reds start getting pitchers back from the disabled list, he'll likely be removed from the rotation. But for now, his next start has yet to be determined.
