Reds Use Sixth Starter Against Starter




Lucas Sims will be the sixth starter used by the Reds this season in their 55th game.

The Reds used their sixth starter in their 121st game, Tim Redmond, in 2012 the season they had gone the longest without needing a sixth starter.

Sims, 24,was the 21st player chosen in the 2012 draft by Atlanta in the first round.  The Reds traded Adam Duvall to the Braves last season to get Matt Wisler, Preston Tucker and Sims.  He made 10 starts with the Braves in 2017 with a 3-6 record and a 5,62 ERA.

He was with the Reds from September 2 through 9 before he was shut down with a teres major sprain.

This season at Louisville, Sims was 3-0 in nine starts with a 4.06 ERA. He struck out 37 in 44 innings and walked 22.

The Reds sent Wandy Peralta to Louisville
