Reds starting pitcher Brandon Finnegan (4-1) was touched up for six earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven in a 10-2 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Finnegan's second start of the season didn't go nearly as well as his first, as the southpaw gave up home runs to Randal Grichuk, Matt Carpenter, and Matt Holliday. Outings like these are to be expected from Finnegan, who will require a learning curve in his first full season as a starting pitcher. Finnegan possesses a live arm and plenty of fantasy potential, but is still a work-in-progress for the time being.
