Reds pitcher Anthony DeSclafani tossed eight scoreless innings in Cincinnati's 6-1 win over the Brewers Monday.
DeSclafani worked efficiently throughout the start, allowing just two hits in the outing. He did not allow a baserunner to get past second base in his eight innings.
"He was locked in," Reds manager Bryan Price said per the Associated Press. "This is what we heard about when we were in the trade discussions with Miami but no one can expect anybody to come out and throw as well as he has."
DeSclafani, now 2-0 on the year, has allowed just two runs in his first three starts of the season and owns a 0.86 ERA.
He will look to keep rolling Saturday against the Cubs. DeSclafani allowed two hits in his last start against Chicago.
