Tony Cingrani Debut..Frazier Wearing Down

Tony Cingrani made his Major League debut in relief of Johnny Cueto, who had a rough outing.

Cingrani is in just his second professional season after he was drafted by the Reds in the third round of the 2011 draft.  The lefthander made 25 starts between High A Bakersfield and Double A Pensacola.  Combined he was 10-4 with a 1.73 ERA which was the second lowest ERA among minor league pitchers that worked a minimum of 100 innings.

Cingrani struck out Fernando Martinez, the first batter he faced, and worked a 1-2-3 fifth inning.

Todd Frazier has reached base in 30 straight games coming into Sunday's game with Houston but he is hitting just .237 in the last 10 games with zero RBI.
