Buck Farmer did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates, striking out two over two perfect innings.Farmer was tasked with opening a bullpen game for the Cincinnati Reds after Andrew Abbott (shoulder) was placed on the injured list, and he retired all six batters he faced on 27 pitches. While the 33-year-old has not exceeded two innings in any outing this season, he owns an impressive 2.58 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

Reds' Buck Farmer: Opener for Friday
Buck Farmer will serve as the Cincinnati Reds' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Farmer is tabbed as the Reds' official starter, but he has completed no more than two innings in any appearance this season. That said, he'll almost certainly be in store for a brief outing, with lefty Andrew Abbott being the leading candidate to work in bulk relief behind him.

Reds' Buck Farmer: Picks up save Wednesday
Buck Farmer earned a save against the Red Sox on Wednesday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning.Closer Alexis Diaz pitched three of the previous four days, so the Cincinnati Reds turned to Farmer to protect a one-run lead in the ninth. The righty reliever threw just half of his 16 pitches for a strike but managed to retire the side in order for his first save of the campaign. Farmer has pitched well this season with a 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB over 27.2 innings, but Diaz has been dominant and is in no danger of losing his ninth-inning role.
