The Reds scored 10 runs in the sixth inning Monday against Detroit. Unfortunately for starter Keyvius Sampson, he wasn't around to benefit from it.
Sampson was knocked out after four. He allowed five runs on nine hits with two walks and five strikeouts.
A three-run homer by J.D Martinez and solo job by Nick Castellanos got Sampson off to a terrible start in the first and a Miguel Cabrera double in the fourth added another run to his ledger and bloated his ERA to 5.55.
Sampson has been a mess over his last two outings with nine runs given up on 18 hits in just 7 1/3 innings.
